Refound a solitaire that was originally found on the Marshall CBC. The bird was in the conifers at the Jacobson Marsh WMA, 7 miles south of Marshall on Cty Rd 7.
Note that this is a very long walk on snowshoes to get to these conifers. It took me over an hour to get there and it was only about a half mile, if that. The snow is very deep and my snowshoes kept falling through the crust. Occasionally I would find my self standing over 3 feed down from the top and snowshoes do not come up easy when they are covered in snow. Do not follow my tracks through the cattails as that was the worst part. The best way would be to walk around the lake and the cattails. The snow in the conifers was 5-6 feet deep so I did not enter the trees. The solitaire helped by sitting in a tall deciduous tree and singing. A person maybe could get lucky and only have to walk to the lake and use a scope to scan the other side but I didn't try and carry a scope in there. Barb did not try to go in as with her short legs she would never have made it.
