[Maine-birds] Precipitous decline of Tri-colored blackbirds

Hi folks,

Although restricted to the west coast as a nester, Tri-colored blackbirds have been undergoing a well documented population crash.  I ran into this summary titled: Bye-Bye Tricolored Blackbird as Population Crashes 44 Percent in 3 Years, today in Scientific American on-line blogs and thought it would be of interest to the readership since we are starting to monitor Rusty blackbird occurrences this year.

Enjoy!

Good birding,

Norm​
