Re: [SBB] Townsend's Solitaire



This morning (Tues, 2/13) at around 11:00 am I re-found the TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE initially found by Patty Brown along Alamitos Road by Almaden Reservoir.  I saw the bird at close range almost at eye-level in a small dead tree along the roadside about 200' closer to the dam than where Patty and her husband had seen it this morning.  This confiding bird perched quietly allowing good study of its field marks.
 
Congratulations to Patty on a great find for the Almaden Reservoir area.
 
If you're interested in looking for this bird please note parking restrictions along Alamitos Road.  There is no parking on either side of the road, so you'll need to drive down to Hicks Road and park there and walk back.  When walking along the road, please stay close to the side of the road as cars can come around the corners at a pretty fast clip and not see you.
 
To look for this bird, check among the trees and toyon bushes on the Quicksilver CP side of Alamitos Road between the dam and a "no swimming" sign.
 
Good (and safe) birding to all -
