Hi Keith,
Good question. This blurb shows up when you select to enter your data under
the "Rusty Blackbird Spring Migration Blitz" protocol:
Please use this category to report Rusty Blackbird surveys between 1 March
and 15 June 2014. To add additional data on your Rusty Blackbird sightings,
fill out the Rusty Blackbird Working Groups data
sheet<http://rustyblackbird.org/wp-content/uploads/Rusty-Blackbird-Blitz-20=
14-datasheet.pdf>and
consider following their optional
protocol<http://rustyblackbird.org/wp-content/uploads/Spring-Migration-Blit=
z-Optional-Protocol.pdf>.
Help us process and interpret your data by formatting any comments into
these four categories, separated by semicolons:
Habitat<http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/identification-t=
ips/potential-habitat/>;
Vocalizations; Behavior; Other. Visit the International
Rusty Blackbird Working Group
website<http://rustyblackbird.org/outreach/migration-blitz/>to learn
more about our effort to understand this species' northward
migration.
I believe it is only pertinent to enter all of the details if a Rusty
Blackbird is detected. You may use the additional Rusty Blackbird Working
Group data sheet, but it is not necessary. They do ask, however, that you
enter Habitat; Vocalizations; Behaviour; and Other in the comments about
the bird.
What I have been doing is submitting my checklists under the RUBL Spring
Migration Blitz protocol when I am in what I perceive to be, appropriate
habitat for Rusty Blackbirds. Hope that is helpful and thanks for your
interest in the Blitz!
Kate

Is just making the eBird submission with and selecting "Rusty
Blackbird Spring
Migration Blitz" protocol sufficient because the information at
the link below mentions adding optional information about habitat
but presumably that would require entering additional form data
outside of eBird. Though if (hopefully when) Rusty Blackbirds are
