	Approval Level*:	Moderator; While Rusty Blackbirds will not drastically change gameplay, their numbers have declined over the years, and they only pass through the area around the Great Lakes during migration.
	Kill Difficulty:	Low; Their ability to fly presents a bit of a challenge, but they are not aggressive birds and are very defenseless.
	Hunting Difficulty:	General; Once an apprentice learns to stalk birds without scaring them away, hunting this species will be a snap.
	Food Quality:	Medium; Rusty Blackbirds are average-sized birds with a decent amount of nutrients from their diet of insects, fruits, and nuts.
