The female Rusty Blackbird put on a great show at Hardy's home on Bragg and Tucker Hill roads this morning - by far the best look I've ever had at one through the spotting scope! Around my Norwich home at 9:00 am was a very fast-moving flock of warblers, of which I only identified about 20% of the >50 birds that passed by.
