At Crow Valley Campground saturday morning. a pair of robin-sized birds in a tree on the edge of the open space they looked just like townsend's solitaire except they were choc brown not grey. I suppose it could have been a trick of the lighting which was cloudy. Beak shape, eye color, size, tail length and uniform color all match Townsend's. The only distinctive marking on the bird was a clear, narrow, white eye ring....again like Townsend's...but I would testify it was milk choc color, not grey. Is there anything else it could be?
On an unrelated topic I have a pair of Eurasian Collared-Doves at my home (for the past couple years) which seem to have a fledgling just now. It looks pretty large so perhaps it has been fledging for a bit. Isn't this very late for CO native birds to nest?
