Varied Thrush & Townsend's Solitaire Both Yes Today: Muskegon/Ottawa Counties

[Richard Pedler]

Mich-listers:

Nancy Hicks reports the Varied Thrush previously seen in her yard and 
the neighbor's yard to the east was seen shortly before noon today in 
the neighbor's yard.  Nancy's house is west of the city of Montague 1/2 
mile south of the Lamos Road/Old Channel Trail intersection just before 
the road turns westerly.  Park in front of the green garage, walk east 
along the north wall of the garage and several feet beyond the back of 
the garage so you can see to your right (south) the plum tree tucked in 
close to the back of the house.  The thrush feeds in that tree or on the 
ground beneath that tree.  It comes in from the woodlot to the east.  
The neighbor's house is east of the woodlot and accessible by taking 
Lakeshore Road which T's into Lamos a short distance north of Nancy's house.

Curtis Dykstra reports that the Townsend's Solitaire previously reported 
on the Kitchel-Lindquist Preserve north of the Grand Haven Channel was 
seen around 1:15 this afternoon feeding on berries northwest of the 
shelter building near the small dunes.  It also flew north into the jack 
pine copse and back south to the poplars.  Curtis said it was vocalizing 
a lot.
