A new yard bird, and there were six of them in the yard this past Monday. And one more one Tuesday.
Sadly, this is a bird in steep decline. The population has plunged over 85% over the past forty years, and no-one is sure why.
To try and figure out what's going on, the International Rusty Blackbird Working Group was formed. And they are asking birders to help out. All you need to do is going birding and report any Rusty Blackbirds in eBird using the Spring Migration Blitz Optional Protocol.
I did.
