Rusty Blackbirds

After giving a talk on backyard birding at an assisted living place in Granbury this afternoon, I went over to Cleburne's Buddy Stewart park to see if Rusty Blackbirds were there this year. And they were - at least three of them in a large flock of starlings and Red-winged Blackbirds. Then the skies let loose with a thunderstorm and a bit of small hail, and I hightailed it to home. At least I got to bird a little bit.
