Corey Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Today in southern Nevada. Sorted thru a huge group of red-winged blackbirds, Brewer's blackbirds, and great-tailed grackles today looking for a rusty. Not sure what this one bird is. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's more, the light eye PLUS the rusty feathers. Edited March 16 by meghann 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
