We spent a delightful hour or so at Campbell Flats this morning.  We saw one blackbird that was different from the redwings it was with, but too far away to ID for sure.  Then we had another possible rusty, which turned into a definite grackle.  We then decided to walk down the road for one more try and were rewarded with excellent looks at the Rusty Blackbird on the snow just below, but very close to the road.  It was not singing.
