This afternoon, Pat McCarthy and I were out looking for snow buntings and
we found a flock of about 60 blackbirds feeding in a close group along the
edge of a side road.  When taking off when a car came by, they would all
fly in unison as a group.
The only time, in the darker light this afternoon, that we actually could
get a close look, I could see a brown bird with a lot of rufus on its head
and some on the back/wings.  I thought the eye was dark, but again the
light wasn't all that good.

They had to be either Rusty's or Brewer's.
Is one bird migrating now and not the other?
Can anyone help?
