[TN-Bird] Re: Townsend's Solitaire Photos from 11/20/05

This is a fairly common vagrant and long overdue in TN.  From
what I remember, vagrants of this species tend to stay for awhile
(as opposed to being one-day wonders).  Weather conditions today
were pretty atrocious so failure to relocate the bird today should
IN NO WAY be seen as indication that it is gone.  With a 4-day
holiday weekend upon us, we should definitely have some folks
able to be out there looking for this bird.
