[mou] St. Paul Townsend's Solitaire still there

[Tom Klein]

The Townsend's solitaire that first was noticed in early December is still in the same location: in the 'back yard" of the Science Museum of Minnesota in downtown St. Paul. 

This bird is absurdly visible. It can be easily viewed  as you drive west along Shepard Road past the museum. It tends to sit sunning itself on one of the pergolas (the easternmost one of three in fact) that dot the space. It is often the only bird visible in the whole backyard area.
