Rusty Blackbirds migrating through our area on the way to their boreal breeding grounds. Their numbers have fallen at least 85% in the past four decades and I feel very lucky to see them moving through.

Fine photos, as usual, and Rusties have become a prize among spring migrants. It's good to know that a lot of citizen-science data is being collected about them in an effort to solve the mystery of their terrible decline. Terry Mosher
