Hi everybody:

 My wife and I took a short ride around midday. We drove Hunting quarter Road and entered from the Hughes Hollow end. The only sign of waterfowl in the impoundments was a lone drake American Wigeon. Approximately 2/10ths of a mile from the Hughes Hollow parking lot I heard and then saw a Rusty Blackbird. It flew up from the ground and landed in a tree among other blackbirds. Upon further scrutiny they were all :Rusties". I counted between 75 and 80 of them.
