As I got home, I looked in the back yard and counted about 400 blackbirds. Surprise surprise, 80% were starlings, but I did see a lot of grackles, about 30 RW blackbirds, and spotted 1 maybe more Rusty blackbirds! Cool cool cool! Finally spring, now I'm being impatient for our warblers to return! -Dillon, Champaign Co, Woodstock. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
