Rusty Blackbird Range Map
The Rusty Blackbird breeds from western and north-central Alaska and northern Yukon to southern Keewatin, northern Quebec and central Labrador south to southwestern and south-coastal Alaska, central interior British Columbia, central Manitoba, northern New England and northeastern New York. It winters from south-coastal Alaska and southeastern British Columbia to southern Ontario and southern New England south to Texas, the Gulf Coast, and northern Florida, and west to central Colorado. The Rusty Blackbird is almost always found near water, breeding in boggy spruce woods, along swampy wooded shores of lakes, streams, tree-bordered marshes, beaver ponds, swamps and on wooded islands in lakes. It rarely occurs in fields with other blackbirds. In winter, the Rusty Blackbird does not stay so close to water, occurring in open woodland, scrub, pastures, weedy gardens and cultivated land.
