Observation details
At 6:45 a flock of 34 Rusty Blackbirds lifted out of the reeds in the wetland area between the 7th hole tee and the 6th hole of the golf course. They staged for five minutes and flew into the marsh out past the 6th hole green. At 6:55 a very large flock of Rusty Blackbirds flew into the wetland area between the 6th and 7th hole. Instead of staging at the tops of trees, they flew into the lower part of the wetland. I will use a very low estimate of fifty. Two minutes after that another small flock of eleven flew into the lower wetland area. Two minutes after that another small flock flew in and staged at the top of the tall trees, but dropped down into the reeds of the wetland very quickly. After ten minutes, in groups of 15 - 20 these Rusties began to stage on small trees at the end of the wetland and fly off into the marsh well beyond the 6th hole green.
