WIR 10/27-11/2. Wednesday 10/27: Tried Great Meadows again before work for Le Conte’s and Nelson’s Sparrows. No luck with those but 2 Rusty Blackbirds and another bittern were good. Hardy Pond had over 55 Ruddies at lunch. Thursday 10/28: Beaver Brook and Waverly Oaks No luck with any Ammodramus but a meadowlark flew over (#171 for the refuge) along with a Horned Lark (flyover, only realized after another birder asked if that’s what it was) and a Rusty Blackbird.

Weedpicker’s Journal:: Cccreeek…
By Weedpicker Cheryl
Rusty Blackbird photos by Greg Cornett A little afternoon visit to Alum Creek paid off with a close up study of the fall blackbirds. Generally found in wet woodlands, they were passing time flipping oak leaves at the edge of the water, Rusty Blackbirds breed in wet woodlands in Canada and spend their winter months in the eastern-central United States. Fall marks their journey south, where they’ll spend winters in wetland habitats reminiscent of their damp forest home.

    I live in Huntley, Ilinois, approximately 30 miles northwest of Chicago, IL. On Sunday, January 2, 2010, I observed a flock of about 50 Rusty Blackbirds on our surrounding lawns. All of the snow had melted by this date due to a late December thaw. About 10 of them fed on our pear tree which is about 4 feet from a window. I was able to clearly observe their markings, and this was confirmed through the Chicago Ornithological Society. I had never seen nor heard of this bird before. Hope this information is helpful.
