Townsend's Solitaire
by Jess. ( Lady.D.)

A visit from a rare bird today. Have never seen this bird in my garden before, quite uncommon for our area. The size of a American Robin but all grey. Beautiful bird. He stayed around for about 20 minutes for a photo shoot and was gone. Really made my whole day just to see him and be able to get a few photos.

I have two stands, both double shepherds hooks, with 4 feeders. These hooks make great perches for the birds and good photo ops for me!

Nice catch Jess. I like the way the bird is looking back over it's shoulder. Do you have afeeder or plant on a shepherds hook type of stand?
