Not illustrated. 1910 Excerpt: ...winters in Colombia. 191. Euphagus carolinus (Mull.). Rusty Blackbird. The Rusty Blackbird is an abundant autumn, winter, and early spring visitant, frequenting large swamps and living for the most part on the ground, where it procures its food. My earliest autumn record is October 22, 1905; it is, however, common by November 5, and remains until March 7, which is my latest date.

It is a female in high plumage, No. 2237 of my register, and is still in my collection. This grackle breeds in the interior of the State and northward to the Middle States. 193. Quiscalus quiscula aglaeus (Baird). Florida Grackle. This form of the Purple Grackle is a permanent resident in the coast region, being found at all seasons in great numbers.
