Rusty Blackbirds

[Shortsighted]

It was another beautiful morning to have a heartbeat.  I returned to the beach and the marsh because I know how to get there.  I've never seen so many blue jays in my life.  There were hundreds of them.  As some were disappearing in the west there were still more appearing from the east, in numbers enough to create murmurations if this species were inclined to behave that way.  There were a few juvenile warblers but most of them were Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) and a few Pam warblers.  The only species that was unexpected were the Rusty blackbirds, mostly juvenile, and unfortunately I couldn't get close to an adult male.  Also came across a falcon and a vulture that were adamant about not co-operating on anything.   I could hear Am. pipit flying around but couldn't spot one on the ground.  I'm starting to see more Eastern phoebe compared to other types of flycatchers.
