--001a1134eefea804930506ac2c1a Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi everyone, I recently received an email update from the international coordinator for the Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz, Judith Scarl. They are looking forward to next year's Blitz and are encouraging eBird reports of Rusty Blackbird sightings during fall migration. She also included the slides from her presentation on the 2014 Blitz at the AOU meetings in Colorado this September, which demonstrated the migration of Rusty Blackbirds in two-week intervals. I found it very interesting to see the timing of migration (which seemed a bit behind this year, to me) as well as the distribution of Rusty Blackbirds (and/or data collection). She also included maps showing locations where flocks of 90+ Rusty Blackbirds were reported during the Blitz. This is significant, from what I understand, as it is a criterion for a location to be considered as an Important Bird Area for Rusty Blackbird migration. I haven't attached the file to this email as I'm not sure if that can be done on NatureNS and also it is quite large. If anyone is interested, however, please send me an email off the listserv and I would be happy to pass it along - katefsteele@gmail.com Thanks again to those who participated this year, and I hope you will do so again in 2015.
