RUSTY BLACKBIRD
509. Euphagus carolinus. 9.5 inches
Male glossy black, female grayish; both sexes in winter with most of the head and breast feathers tipped with rusty.
In the United States we know these birds chiefly as emigrants; but a few of them remain to breed in the Northern parts.
Their songs are rather squeaky efforts, but still not unmusical. These birds are found east of the Rockies.
