Rusty Blackbird

Boyce, Virginia

Drove back to Blandy Farm late afternoon with 69° but much more overcast than yesterday. Was hoping to get a shot of a Winter Wren I'd spotted yesterday but wasn't sucessful at photographing.
Instead, a flock of Rusty Blackbirds was the best I could find; and, for me, that was fine as I rarely see this species.
