There was a single singing RUSTY BLACKBIRD at Sapsucker Woods this morning (18 March 2010) as I came into work. For the person who asked on the listserve some time recently about good places to see this species, I'd say that Sapsucker Woods is probably one of the better places in the area. With their preference for wet wooded areas, Rusty Blackbirds can be seen fairly reliably here during late March and early April.
