Breeding Rusty Blackbirds were found at 40 sites in 2020 with confirmed fledging from 17 nests. Researchers continue to follow Rusty Blackbirds with nanotags including the female pictured above that was detected once during fall migration and spent nine days in the vicinity of a Motus receiving station on the way back north. She built her nest this year less than 200 ft. from her 2019 nest site.

Founded in 1914, NH Audubon’s mission is to protect New Hampshire’s natural environment for wildlife and for people. It is an independent statewide membership organization with four nature centers throughout the state. Expert educators give programs to children, families, and adults at centers and in schools. Staff biologists and volunteers conduct bird conservation efforts such as the Peregrine Falcon restoration. NH Audubon protects thousands of acres of wildlife habitat and is a voice for sound public policy on environmental issues.
