A reminder - if you use the BirdLog mobile app, as I do, there isn't an option
to enter the report as a Rusty Blackbird protocol. However, you can change it
after the fact by going in to "my eBird", then "Manage My Checklists", select
the particular list, then select "view or edit". Change the observation type to
"Other" and choose "Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz" then "Save
Changes".

Folks,
Just a reminder that we’re in Rusty Blackbird Blitz mode again this
year. Get out there in good Rusty habitat (wet woods - see the link below for
details) and report your observations in eBird using the Rusty Blackbird Blitz
protocol.

Chapter Representative,
> It's time for the 2015 version of the Rusty
Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz. Please see that this information gets
disseminated to your club's members and encourage them to participate. The
basic idea is to get out and try to find Rusty Blackbirds as they migrate
through your area. Then enter the data into ebird. The process is the same as
it was last year. Directions for doing this are found on the Blitz site:
http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/ There's also information on
the site about identifying Rusties and the habitats they prefer. All this
really means is - Go out and bird and enter your data in ebird. The scientific
analysis of that data will be done later by the professionals who want to have
as much information to analyze as we can give them.
> This year there is an
emphasis on re-visiting areas that were used by Rusties last year to see if they
have returned to use the same locales again this year. Our target observation
period is now, the month of March, but I think that our recent cold weather may
have slowed the migratory movement. So please continue to search for Rusties
well past the end of the month and on into May and June.
> If you or any of
your club's members have questions, I'd be glad to help with answers. I
appreciate your helping the VSO cover the state search for migrating Rusty
Blackbirds. Last year Virginia was one of the most productive states in
generating data from the 2014 Blitz. Let's see if we can top last year with an
even better year in 2015.
