Hello Tweeters,

I don't know if it was reported previously, but today I saw a female Rusty Blackbird in a blackbird/starling flock at a grain/feed storage site on Norman Road, south of Stanwood. The location is little more
than 2.0 (but less than 2.1) miles from the west end of the road,which terminates at Marine Drive. There was plenty of room to pull off the road at the site. Most of the flock immediately
flew off, but stayed nearby. I remained in my vehicle, and in 5-10 minutes, many of them came back. Nice, close binocular views.

Regards, and good birding,
