Townsend's Solitaire - Willowbrook, BC
On an outing to White Lake, we came across several of these gray thrush along the hillside of the farmland in Willowbrook, BC. They frequent the mountains in the summer months and the winters in the valleys inland. They make a habit of eating juniper berries in the winter and will protect a source of the berries with a bit of gusto. They, like most thrush, have a very gentle and pretty song which is heard as a whisper sometimes and this was not exception.
