This is forwarded from another state bird list, but maybe some people on Cayuga Birds might appreciate the reminder if they are going to be out and about birding tomorrow?
Alicia -------- Forwarded Message -------- To help conserve this elusive and vulnerable songbird, consider participating in The Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz. The Blitz collects its data through eBird checklists, so if you're already an eBird user, there's only another step or two to really help out this program. Essentially, just bird as you normally do and search especially carefully for Rusty Blackbirds, and report your results to eBird under the “Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz” survey type (as opposed to traveling, stationary, etc.). If you can, to go a bit further, please consider visiting one of the Rusty Blackbird Areas of Interest (visit our interactive map at http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/2015-areas-of-interest/) to help us assess consistency of migratory timing and habitat use during spring migration. For more information on Blitz objectives, along with Rusty Blackbird identification tips, data collection instructions, and data reporting information, you can find additional resources at http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/.The project's coordinator, Judith Scarl, also wrote a great piece on the ABA Blog, which is worth a read: http://blog.aba.org/2015/03/open-mic-battling-bye-bye-blackbird-conserving-a-declining-species.html.
