Townsend's Solitaire
I brought Dottie and Mark Johnson to the UW Arboretum today to view the Townsend's Solitaire. They've been out of the Wisconsin birding scene since the end of October with trips to Australia and North Carolina. The solitaire was a Wisconsin state life bird for Mark, but Dottie has previously observed them at Devil's Lake State Park. Content with our visit with the bird, we explored roads north of Middleton in search of Snowy Owls. We did find several Red-tailed Hawks, a single Rough-legged Hawk, American Kestrels, and Northern Harriers ... but no snowies!
