This afternoon at 4:09 I found a Townsend's Solitaire in Cook along 5th St. SE in front of the hospital. The bird flew south along 5th St. toward 3rd Ave. SE where it landed at the top of a spruce on the east side of 5th and called the whole time. Then it flew to the southeast. There is a crabapple tree in front of the hospital which could be the bird's food source since that's where I initially saw it.
I was in Cook looking for the White-winged Crossbills that Julie Grahn had found the evening before in some spruce trees by the VFW. I did not find the Crossbills or any Bohemian Waxwings that had been seen earlier this fall. I did find 6 Pine Grosbeaks in town. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
