This small unassuming gray thrush created quite a stir in the Chicago western suburbs birding community. This Townsend's Solitaire is well outside it's high mountains habitat in western North America. Over the weekend flocks of birders traveled to Silver Springs State Park west of Yorkville, Illinois to see the solitaire.

 

I met five birders on the park trail on a Monday afternoon. Lucky for me one of them showed me the solitaire.
