Townsend's Solitaire in Williamsburg 1/1/08


The start of the new year brought in the start for all of us to start are new year list, but geez, with this beauty, you can add this one to your state list, or even your life list as well!!
This Townsend's Solitaire was first seen on 1 Jan and was reported to the VA-BIRD listserve by Shirley Devan.
The first state record Solitaire came earlier this past fall and was photographed as well. A long over due species for Virginia. And as it always seems to go, the first one is the hardest to find, then the second almost always seems to come a bit easier! BUT, glad they both made it here!
Here is a picture that Brian Taber took of this beautiful bird!

Hi Jethro - we were at the banding station for the first time last year and enjoyed it so much! We're anxiously awaiting spring migration; we'll be back! Also enjoy the blog.
