A flock of 70+/- blackbird individuals flew over the house in small clusters yesterday afternoon over a period of five minutes. They disappeared into the mixed woods up behind, pausing for a few moments before continuing to move away through the woods. No evident wing bars. Smaller than a grackle in length. Tail not as broad either. Flight call, a single "check," seemed deeper than red-winged blackbird. Hidden in the trees, their eyes were not visible. I've had rusty blackbirds on the home property and neighborhood before.
