[cobirds] LARIMER: Riverbend Ponds/Sharp Point Drive - Ft Collins Audubon Field Trip Report - Rusty Blackbird

This morning's field trip to Riverbend Ponds Natural Area in Fort Collins was, ahem, "sparsely attended." There were two of us. But it was a great outing!

The last bird of the day was probably the highlight: a fall plumage Rusty Blackbird at the far side of the first pond on Sharp Point Drive. White-throated sparrow at far end of Big Pond (Riverbend Ponds) was also FOS for both of us. Complete checklist:
