Observation details

Confirmed with sound ID in Merlin: Merlin ID'd as Rusty Blackbirds, but also we listened to archived sounds of that species and noted it matched the calls we were hearing from the ~40 birds in this tree. Mottled brown and black, starling-sized birds flocked in a tree, sharp needle beaks. Some individuals darker/black, others lighter/yellow/brown.
