Rust and Reverie

In early spring or sometimes late fall, I occasionally catch sight of rusty blackbirds (Euphagus carolinus). I have to be lucky—they pause only for a moment in the oak and pine trees around my yard before moving on to wherever their mysterious route leads.

Step into a world where even the smallest moments—like the glint in a bird's eye—tell their own story.

Rusty Blackbird

The Rusty Blackbird is primarily an insect eater during the warm months, however during the cold months it will eat berries. It is not understood why their population is down 90% over the last 40 years.
