I wasn't in town for the walk this morning, but the Saturday Birders are undaunted. Reports are that the walk was a little slow bird-wise, but very nice just the same.

As a mostly random selection for Bird of the Day this week, I picked the Townsend's Solitaire.

They are a beautiful thrush that delights in the yard all winter long because it defends territories for food and sings when most others are silent. They are not a flashy bird, but have an elegance which is striking.
