FRIENDS! STUNNING SPECIES OF WILDLIFE MIGRATING ALONG THE SHORES OF CAPE ANN RIGHT NOW -Today’s Feature: the Rusty Blackbird!

Posted on by Kimsmithdesigns

I often think of May as the magical month of migration through Massachusetts, but am beginning to think of October in the same light. At this time of year I don’t have much spare time but when you go out for even the briefest walk, you will encounter beautiful creatures not usually seen. Several days ago it was a Rusty Blackbird! I was only able to capture a single photo, but did catch half a minute of footage. He was pecking vigorously at the water’s edge, lifting and flipping leaves as he darted about looking for insects and plant matter.

Not only do they eat plants and insects, but they have also been documented attacking and eating other birds including sparrows and Robins.

Rusty Blackbirds are migrating through Cape Ann. They breed in the boggy boreal forests of the far north. During winter Rusty Blackbirds can be found at pond edges, swamps, and wet woodlands.

Rusty Blackbirds are mysteriously in sharp decline and sadly, their population has plummeted an estimated 80-99 percent.

I met this wonderful couple from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania at Good harbor Beach, they told me that they have been vacation here in Gloucester for years, and reside here most of the summer.  They also indicated that they have a personalized “GLOSTA” licensee plate. (see images below)

We wondered how many other states in the USA have issued a “GLOSTA” plate.   The answer is ten states have issued “GLOSTA” plates,  see the images below:

They seemed to have shed their summer radiance at the hand of Jack Frost and Mother Nature.

On the other hand, this is also the work of Mother Nature! The leaves were just spectacular in yesterday’s sunshine.
