Observation details
Scope views showed a brownish blackbird foraging alone at edge of water with pale eye, strong buff supercilium set off by fairly bold black eyeline, and gray rump in strong contrast to brownish back. The tertials showed strong reddish edges. The bill seemed slight and combined with more rounded head and shorter tail compared to a Brewer’s Blackbird makes it a Rusty Blackbird! Leo got one his most wanted county birds and this was 260 NIB for my marsh list. Soon after this, the blackbird was seen flying off into the distance and did not return.
