Rusty Blackbird male!
To bird along Kendall Station, we parked our car, and then walked out a little ways before turning around and heading back. On the way back we spotted a pair of Rusty Blackbirds feeding in a shallow pool. We waited around very quietly, and eventually the birds came around and into the sun for some very close photos. They walked right by me without paying me any mind. They were completely focused on flipping over little leaves that were sunk underwater and getting little somethings from beneath.
Sadly, this species has declined tremendously in the past decade or so, and so is at risk.
