What was once one Rusty Blackbird in the yard (Creswell, Harford) on last Sunday has turned into four today (1/14).  Three are variably black scalloped, mottled males and one a stunningly "rusty" female.  Interesting is how they walk around with a more erect posture relative to the company they keep.  The snow cover here sits at about an inch or two.  Also, the mixed blackbird flock has gotten quite bigger and a single Chipping Sparrow is present.
