Yesterday around 4:00pm there were 32 Rusty blackbirds foraging under my pear 
tree in the back yard. They were scratching and turning the old pear tree 
leaves over with their bills. I tried to get a ratio of males to females, but 
they were too fast. There appeared to be more males though. They then flew down 
to the edge of a small pond before leaving the yard. This is the largest group 
of Rusty blackbirds I've seen in the yard since I moved here 6 yrs ago.
