I would agree with TOSO. I heard at least one in the N. End this morning. I think they are probably moving through, but I’ve heard them in the N. End more than once this winter. Great photo BTW.

Re: Bird ID
Definitely a Townsend’s Solitaire.

Bird ID
Came across a small flock of this bird at Hyatt Hidden Lakes this morning. Looks like a Townsend’s Solitaire to me, but my track record for guessing isn’t great.
Thanks for your help.

Notus road pastures
The folks on Notus Road are starting to flood their pastures. If you see shorebirds when birding the area please post your findings to IBLE.
No shorebirds today but killdeer.

Hi Cliff
I refound the Bewick’s Swan where Kathleen and Poo found it
yesterday. Bring a scope. Lots of Tundras and a few Trumpeters
for a swan clinic if anyone is up for it!

Re: Tundra Swans
Another sign of spring was the Osprey that Susan and I saw on Monday at Veterans Park Pond. Unfortunately, it hasn’t reappeared.

Re: Tundra Swans
Tonight I can hear Tundra Swans flying over my house in Island
Park for the first time. I guess spring is getting close.

today. But, can’t begin to make out what I was actually seeing.Brian
