This morning Ken and I took at walk on the East Trail of Sapsucker Woods. It was reasonably well protected from the wind, and we saw quite a few birds.

On our beginner bird walk this morning we saw 12-20 Rusty blackbirds associating with Red-winged Blackbirds, most recently seen near the Visitor Center. Most of the Rusty Blackbirds were already in dark plumage, but the yellow eyes were striking. Ken and Mark Chao, who we ran into there, were able

On a lunchtime walk, we came across at least a dozen Rusty Blackbirds singing away in trees along the East trail at the eastern edge of the refuge close to the southeast corner of the trail. We saw 8 of them, but it sounded like there were a whole lot more. There were also singing Phoebes in a c

We just had 6 RUSTY BLACKBIRDS checking our feeder area. I think the damned MOURNING DOVES intimidated them, and also probably had eaten all the seed on the ground. The blackbirds left after a minute. 2 obvious females, 2 obvious males; the other 2 a cross plumage between the male and female. G

It wasn't until early this morning that Ann Mitchell & I checked out Chris Wood's Red-headed Woodpecker spot in Monkey Run South. It was frosty, shady and pretty quiet, but we did find several GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS, DARK- EYED JUNCOS and WHITE-THROATED SPARROWS, and we heard a BROWN CREEPER
