Beautiful Bird

 

 

 

 

~Rusty Blackbird at 6 1/2 Station Road Sanctuary, 10/16/17.~

If you had a chance to be out this evening, you know it was a gorgeous night, cool and breezy with an amazing sunset. The only thing that could make it better is a beautiful bird, and the Rusty Blackbird is the kind of bird that can just make your day with their distinctive call and fabulous coloring. I ran into several of these beauties this evening at 6 1/2 Station Road Sanctuary and I’m still smiling about it.

~A mixed flock in flight – most of these birds are European Starlings, and I see what looks like a couple of Red-winged Blackbirds and a single Rusty Blackbird. Great night to be out, 6 1/2 Station Road Sanctuary, 10/16/17.~

  1. Hi Matt,

    It’s in the Fall and Winter that the RUSTY shows his true colors and your photo captured why they are called Rusty!
    Great, AGAIN!

  2. Superb capture and exceptional light. It gives the appearence that the leaves took flight

  3. We were at 6 1/2 today and voila – saw your rusty blackbird. Actually at least 4. Beautiful bird.
    Thanks for the heads up.

    1. That’s excellent, Jeff, congrats. I’m glad to hear you had better luck there than you’ve had with me up at Mt. Peter. See you out there. Matt

    1. I agree Wilma. It’s hard to beat a good sunset with some good birds. I haven’t seen you in a million years, I hope things are good. Matt
