Hi Lisa,
I'm collaborating on a pilot project with members of the International Rusty Blackbird Working Group to assess population genetics and mercury load in Rusty Blackbirds across the boreal forest in North America.
I'm attempting to locate and capture a small number of Rusty Blackbirds (< 10) at their nest. Could you provide some more detailed information about where you saw this bird? I live in the neighborhood, so it might be an easy one to go after.
Thanks!
