Rare Townsend's Solitaire Visits Strafford, NH

[Donna]

New Hampshire is home territory to some 250 species of birds that breed or live here for at least a part of the year. Townsend’s Solitaire is not one of them. In fact, the Townsend’s Solitaire is such a rare East Coast visitor that it is not even listed in a number of popular eastern bird identification guide books. Reports of a Townsend’s Solitaire in Strafford, New Hampshire this winter have, therefore, had New England birders flocking to the Hill Library hoping for a good look at Myadestes townsendi.

I think it's time for me to take a road trip!  This little guy is less than a half hour away!  I think I;ll keep watching the birds in the back yard for him.  I see a couple here and there I really can't identify because they move so fast!

Some of my fondest memories are of being a summer "farm kid" there.
