Of interest is that about a dozen and a half rusties were picked up on the Baltimore City/Co. Midwinter count on Back River Neck Rd. on 24 Jan. I consider Rusty Blackbird a good find any time of year, anywhere (including George Jett's back yard). Stan > "Small groups of rusty blackbirds wintered at College Park (M. B. > Meanley, W. H. Ball) and Patuxent Refuge (Stewart), and 10 were seen > near Halethorpe > on Feb. 1 by Hampe and Bowen; mid-winter records north of Washington > are few." > > This was from the season report for January-February 1948. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
