Today I looked out and sitting in one of my yard trees was this very pretty little bird. I had no idea what it was so called my friend Joyce who suggested a Townsend's Solitaire. Darn if she wasn't right. I've never had one of these in my yard before. Most of the wild residents consists of sparrows and pigeons. Of course because they frequent my water station there are also, on occassion, cooper's hawks and sharp-shinned hawks. They have learned that feeders and waterers mean lots of small birds, their favorite meal.
Cool! I have a friend who lives in Wapiti, who has had a solitaire for the first time ever hanging around her house. I have never seen one here at our place.
