Nice Rusty Blackbirds at Buddy Attick (P.G. County)

[Patricia Wood]

I took a walk around Buddy Attick Lake this afternoon; very nice birdy place. The best birds were the 8 rusty blackbirds I saw on the near shore turning over leaves in the water's edge. They let you get quite close.

Pat,

which area the rusty black birds were spotted? Could you provide more specifically please?

When you get there, park, and go down the gravel path straight to the lake; there are trees and bushes right on the edge of the lake, some with branches trailing over into the water. That's the place. This is off 201 then Crescent - if there is another parking lot, I don't know about it, tho I think you can access the lake trail from streets around it too.

I learned about the rusties from the MD Birding Facebook page--some very nice videos of them have been posted there in the last couple of months.

FYI Buddy Attick Lake is also known as Greenbelt Lake and may be so marked on maps.
