A note about that Solitaire: it has been seen most often in a hedgerow in a cornfield on the top of a steep hill. The ground is covered by snow with a treacherous coating of ice. Unless we get a significant thaw, ice cleats or crampons are recommended for anyone trying for this bird.
I know. My knee wishes I had thought of that yesterday.
