The RUSTY BLACKBIRD along Tualco Loop Road continues. Yesterday (03.26.10) I caught sight of the bird 4 times throughout the afternoon. All 4 were brief glimpses and photographs were not possible.

The large flock of mostly BREWER'S BLACKBIRDS forages on the ground as well as at sileage piles along the loop.

Tualco Loop Road is a short distance south of Monroe near Crescent Lake Wildlife Area. Refer to the map on page 175 of A Birder's Guide to Washington.

Below is a link to some images of this bird taken on 03.21.10.
