Rusty Blackbird 4 Probably saw more like 25-30, but most of them were in flight (3 small flocks). Saw these ones reasonably well and many of them were calling/singing. Last night around 7pm, I saw (and got photos/video) of a bunch (~25) of blackbirds in two neighboring trees with the only calls being from rusties, didn't have binoculars though.
