Townsend's Solitaire is a slender, grayish thrush of western North America, known for its mournful, fluty song and preference for coniferous forests. It often has a conspicuous white eye-ring and rufous wing patch.
Where to spot
Breeds in coniferous and mixed forests of western North America, from Alaska to Mexico. Winters across much of the western and central US, often in juniper woodlands.
How to spot
Its slender grey body, white eye-ring, and rufous patch on the wing (visible in flight or when perched) are key. Listen for its distinctive, ethereal song, often delivered from a prominent treetop.
When to spot
Most active during the early morning and late afternoon. Best observed during summer in breeding grounds. Look for them in juniper woodlands during winter.

This species is a 'scatter hoarder,' storing juniper berries and other fruits in crevices or under bark to sustain itself through the winter months.
