Today (Saturday, February 21, 2004) at 1:36 p.m. I found a Townsend's
Solitaire in Pipestone County just northwest of Pipestone, MN.  The bird was
observed for approximately 20 minutes on both sides of County Road 67
northwest of Pipestone National Monument.  

Directions:

Coming into Pipestone from the northeast on Highway 23 where it intersects
Highway 75, turn West/right on 2nd St NE (note; the street sign is faded -
on the opposite side of  where you turn off of Highways 23/75 to 2nd St NE
is the grain elevator/grain bins).  Follow 2nd St. NE/NW west for one mile
to NW 8th Avenue.  Turn North/right on NW 8th Avenue.  When NW 8th Avenue
curves west turn North/right on County Road 67/68th Avenue and follow Co.Rd
67/68th Avenue north for 8 tenths of a mile.  On your right/east side is the
western boundary of the Pipestone National Monument followed by a Wildlife
Mgmt area/State Game Refuge. On your left/west side is a large cemetery.
Continue north past the cemetery where the road becomes gravel.  The bird
was observed perched on fence posts, small trees and in the road ditches on
both sides of the road in the area of the Wildlife Mgmt area small parking
lot on the east side and the large black dirt mounds on the west side of the
road.  

The bird was not with any other birds.
