Rusty Blackbirds on the Upper Jock River

March 24, 2012

Barbara and I and two of the Venturers went for a chilly paddle from Munster Side Road to Richmond through the fen.

There were lots of common birds - Canada Geese, Red-wings, Robins, etc.  But there were also quite a few Rusty Blackbirds.  I could easily hear their squeeky clothesline call and see their yellow eyes.  We also saw two Turkey Vultures lift off at close range.
