Attention birders, Sunday is the last day of the 2011 Rusty blackbird Hotspot Blitz. Go out and check those historical hotspots for rusties! Record rusties anywhere you find them. Check your home feeders! IMPORTANT! If you check a Rusty Blackbird Hotspot and find none, report the effort and the result! "You can go wherever you like, whenever you like, and as often as you like anytime between January 29 - February 13, 2011. We are simply looking for the number of birds present at each location, along with very basic habitat information." http://nationalzoo.si.edu/scbi/migratorybirds/research/rusty_blackbird/blitz .cfm Please review the website at the link above to learn more.
