The North American Breeding Bird Survey and Christmas Bird Count have determined that Rusty Blackbirds have dropped 85%-98% in the past 40 years. Maybe they are making a come back.
They have been documented feeding on sparrows, robins, and snipe, among others.

This is the Sri Lankan Rusty Spotted Cat at the Smarden Big Cat Sanctuary in Kent, Uk. It is the smallest wild cat in the world, although they are known to be very fierce.
Rusty Blackbirds breed primarily in the boreal regions of Canada and Alaska but winter in the southeastern United States. They pass through New York State during spring and fall migration where they are usually seen in wooded wetland. There have been precipitous declines in the population of this species for reasons that are unclear.
