Hi Keith,

Good question. This blurb shows up when you select to enter your data under
the "Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz" protocol:

Please use this category to report Rusty Blackbird surveys between 1 March
and 15 June 2014. To add additional data on your Rusty Blackbird sightings,
fill out the Rusty Blackbird Working Groups data
sheet<http://rustyblackbird.org/wp-content/uploads/Rusty-Blackbird-Blitz-20=
14-datasheet.pdf>and
consider following their optional
protocol<http://rustyblackbird.org/wp-content/uploads/Spring-Migration-Blit=
z-Optional-Protocol.pdf>.
Help us process and interpret your data by formatting any comments into
these four categories, separated by semicolons:
Habitat<http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/identification-t=
ips/potential-habitat/>;
Vocalizations; Behavior; Other. Visit the International
Rusty Blackbird Working Group
website<http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/>to learn
more about our effort to understand this species' northward
migration.

I believe it is only pertinent to enter all of the details if a Rusty
Blackbird is detected. You may use the additional Rusty Blackbird Working
Group data sheet, but it is not necessary. They do ask, however, that you
enter Habitat; Vocalizations; Behaviour; and Other in the comments about
the bird.

What I have been doing is submitting my checklists under the RUBL Spring
Migration Blitz protocol when I am in what I perceive to be, appropriate
habitat for Rusty Blackbirds. Hope that is helpful and thanks for your
interest in the Blitz!

Kate
