Hi all,
On Sunday, December 9th, I saw a grayish bird with a short black bill in a tree
in our back yard. This bird was robin sized, and when I went to get my binocs
on him, he flew.
I have been leaning toward calling it either a Gray Jay or a Townsend's
Solitaire, though I'm not sure which would be more likely to be seen here in
Hastings. I see from this year's sightings maps, that Townsend's Solitaire has
been seen farther north, so I am leaning town the Jay. I know it wasn't the
Shrike I saw yesterday, as it lacked a mask (unless it was the Lone Ranger off
duty...).
I'd like to know what everyone thinks.
Good birding,
Richard
