A friend of mine sent the attached picture take on Jan 5 in downtown Rochester, MN with this statement,
"this was pretty wild! Thousands of blackbirds in the sky & rooting in trees downtown. I took the pic thru my.opened sunroof. Happy Friday" Maybe all of the recent blackbird discussion has made me suspicious, but I checked CBC results from recent years and I don't see any indication from counts that would suggest there should be these kinds of numbers at this time of year. But I know nothing about Rochester birds and would like to hear comments to pass on to my friend.
