Townsend's Solitaire, Sault Ste. Marie, MI, at Sugar Island Ferry, Saturday, Dec 13, 2008. 11:30 A.M. via Chuck MacDonald

[C. MacDonald]

The bird flew downstream along the riverbank and landed in Lilac bushes in
our yard, between the house and the river, about 25 feet from our windows.
It moved to a crabapple tree, and then continued downriver after a 4-5
minute stay.  It did not feed and appeared to be on the move.  We saw
another (same?) Solitaire seven days ago in the same location with the same
behavior pattern.  No other sightings.
