	The Rusty Grakle, or Rusty Crow Blackbird
		In the winter months the Rusty Grakle is found as far south as Lower Louisiana and the Floridas, which it reaches in small flocks, along with the Cow Bunting and Red-winged Starling, with which it continues frequently to associate until the return of spring.
		It is rare to meet with them in full plumage at this time, even the old males becoming rather rusty, instead of being of a pure glossy fl, as they are in spring.
		RICHARDSON, its summer range extends to the 68th parallel, or as far as the woods reach, and it arrives in pairs on the banks of the Saskatchewan in the beginning of May. In that country it joins with the Redwings, Common Crow Blackbirds, and Cow Buntings, in committing depredations on the corn-fields.

		When Rusty Blackbirds are migrating and during winter, they use a wide variety of habitats, but they typically roost in marshy or swampy areas.
		Unlike other flbirds, the Rusty Blackbird is not a significant 'nuisance' bird, because it tends to avoid human-altered environments.

	Rusty Blackbird Overview - National Zoo\| FONZ
		The rusty flbird (Euphagus carolinus) is a widespread North American species that has shown chronic long-term and acute short-term population declines, based both on breeding season and wintering ground surveys.
		Rusty flbirds are ecologically distinct from other flbirds, depending upon boreal wetlands for breeding and bottomland wooded-wetlands for wintering.
		In February 2005, we formed the International Rusty Blackbird Technical Working Group to develop a cross-seasonal and comprehensive research program to develop the information to understand the causes and ecological significance of the rusty flbirds' decline.

		The Rusty Blackbird breeds from western and north-central Alaska and northern Yukon to southern Keewatin, northern Quebec and central Labrador south to southwestern and south-coastal Alaska, central interior British Columbia, central Manitoba, northern New England and northeastern New York.
		The Rusty Blackbird is almost always found near water, breeding in boggy spruce woods, along swampy wooded shores of lakes, streams, tree-bordered marshes, beaver ponds, swamps and on wooded islands in lakes.
		In winter, the Rusty Blackbird does not stay so close to water, occurring in open woodland, scrub, pastures, weedy gardens and cultivated land.

	Birds - Rusty Blackbird
		A more sociable bird than the grackle, though it travel in smaller flocks, the rusty flbird condescends to mingle freely with other feathered friends in marshes and by brooksides.
		In April flocks of these birds may frequently be seen along sluggish, secluded streams in the woods, feeding upon the seeds of various water or brookside plants, and probably upon insects also.
		Why it should ever have been called a thrush flbird is one of those inscrutable mysteries peculiar to the naming of birds which are so frequently called precisely what they are not.

		Canadian Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) indicates greater decline in the Boreal Shield than in the Atlantic Maritimes (the only 2 ecozones with sufficient sample size for separate analysis); however, BBS data suffer from low abundance of the species on routes, and trend estimates are very imprecise.
		Destruction of wet woodlands (in all parts of range, but especially in wintering grounds) has likely contributed to declines, and control of flbird roosts may also have had an effect (Avery 1995, Greenberg and Droege 1999).
