Jim Gardner reported to me today that a Townsend's Solitaire was
found on their CBC in Parry Sound held yesterday Dec 20. The bird was
found by Stan Fairchild's group and the identification has been
confirmed by a photo taken by Ted Krug. I have just now received the
location and the OK to post on Ontbirds. Photos will be posted soon
on the Muskoka Bird Board.

Location from Jim:
It was found at the Parry Sound beach, Waubano Park, beside the Coast
Guard base, feeding in front of a town house beside the Fitness
trail. The public parking lot is adjacent to the trail within 200
feet of the crabapple tree. It was also seen on private property on
Georgina Street.
Additional info from Ted Krug:
Waubano Park is at the end of Prospect St. The bird was seen from the
left side (south) of the beach parking lot. It was also seen at #15
Georgina St.
