Went searching for the Townsend's Solitaire late Friday afternoon at 7 Islands in east Knox County, Tenn. Was at the pond around 3:30 p.m. Lots of Northern Cardinals and the place was hopping with sparrows... field, song, white throated & a junco (probably others too that I couldn't ID) but no Solitaire though I carefully checked out each mockingbird that I saw. Highlight of the day was a northern harrier way up in the sky. Stuck around for about an hour and headed back before 5. The weather was beautiful, cool and sunny.
