I had a *Townsend's Solitaire *fly over the road just south of the intersection of 7th Street and St Croix Trail (before you enter Lakeland) at 10:30 AM, this morning, 12/8/13.
I was driving very slow because of the snow when a long-tailed bird flew just over and in front of my car headed from west to east. The bird was overall the same color (grayish) but the underwings had a a very conspicuous peach-colored wingstripe. I pulled over and tried to locate the bird in the SE corner of the intersection of 7th street and St. Croix Trail S, but I was unable to see where it landed or relocate the bird. This area is dotted with conifers and lots of cedars laden with berries. I wanted to report so hopefully others in the area can look out for.
