Rusty Blackbird | Euphagus carolinus | Quiscale rouilleux

            As day length and temperature drop in Prince Edward County, so do bird numbers. The cormorants are gone, the kinglets are gone, only wintering waterfowl are around in abundance. Still, a few lingering species who didn't get the memo to head south add interest to the morning walk.

This Rusty Blackbird was deep in a Silver Maple swamp, hidden by a tangle of branches. To acquire an image I had to find the one angle that would put the focus point on the subject. The lens hunted desperately, rocking back and forth from near to far until I finally found a clear sight line and the camera locked on.

Listed as Vulnerable (one step below Endangered), this bird should be farther south by now, enjoying the more moderate climate from the mid-US to Florida.
