Hello Tweeters,
This morning i went to Port Orchard Airport. It was exactly 7.15 AM when i
stepped out of the car to find the Mountain Quail. Right than there was
large gray bird with quite long tail flying around in smal trees.
At closer looks there turned out all TOWNSEND" SOLITAIRE.Further up the
road i saw 2 MOUNTAIN QUAIL walking over the road.This time i could get a
better look than on the 18th of April when Patrick and i looked for them.
Only i saw two birds running real fast over the road. So i was not sure if
there where, and Patrick din't see them.
There was lo"ts of birds around but around 9.15 it got real quite. I know
there been lot"s of sightings of Townsend"s Solitaire all over the state
latly, but usual single sightings.I myself found many Townsend"s Solitary
but only one at one time.
