January 29th through February 13th, get outside and go searching for Rusty Blackbirds! This national Blitz is organized by the Smithsonian Institution and is designed to find out as much as possible about one of our most rapidly declining North American birds.
Please head outside, search for Rusties, and report your results (whether you find them or not) in Virginia eBird and by contacting our Bird Atlas Coordinator, Spring Ligi (sligi@loudounwildlife.org).
