townsend's solitaires

[josterhold]

hello birders
this morning there was 4 townsend's solitaires feeding on holly berries in the yard. they come by every spring for a few days to feed and then move on. also, had 3 turkey vultures fly by real close to the cliff, showing off there red , bald heads.

Thanks for all your reports. It is great to be able to learn something from you experts, as I really have not much of an idea what is a rare bird in our area.

Also saw a Turkey Vulture a short while ago chowing down on something I'd rather keep my distance from



Thanks for all the reports!

Cheers,
George
