Comments:     Jay Sheppard and I checked out the Oxbow this afternoon. I spotted 
and heard a dark bird about the size of a red-winged blackbird or grackle flying 
along the water as Jay and I made our way back to the Fishing Hole. Jay 
identified 3 male RUSTY BLACKBIRD and we watched them for at least 5 minutes. On 
our way back along the trail, we heard one. Heard one rumble of thunder and had 
a few drops of rain on the windshield when we returned to the car. Conditions:
