Observation details

At 6:58 one Rusty staged on a tree next to the 7th hole tee. A minute later there was a second Rusty. I began to hear noise coming from the wet woods next to the 7th hole tee and fairway. Beginning at 7:05 Rusty Blackbirds bagan flying up from the wet marshy bottom up and staging at or near the tops of the trees next to the 7th hole tee and fairway. By 7:10 a large number of Rusty were calling. At 7:14, most of the Rusty Blackbirds began flying back down to the bottom of the wet woods. By 7:20 all of them were back down at the bottom of the woods and quiet. I began to wonder if they would stay there. At 7:25 the Rusty Blackbirds began to stage again. This time on trees nearer to the 7th hole tee. At 7:30 a flock of 17 flew over the 6th hole and out into the marsh. In the next five minutes three separate flocks flew over and staged on the trees on the wetlands between the 6th and 7th hole. They staged there for five minutes and flew off into the marsh. There were a total of 57 Rusties.
