Meet the Townsend's Solitaire,
a member of the thrush family, and
the only solitaire native to America north of Mexico.
As you can see from this map,
he was a long, long way from home!!
I think this snowy, cold environment
was a little more than he bargained for!
I concur,
but it's not much warmer down here in TX at the moment!
What else is new?
There's a new blog hop coming to town,
and I'm very proud to be a part of it.
I hope you'll join us.
To view the full schedule,
visit Pat at
Life in the Scrapatch
and you will see that
I'll be keeping company with some
pretty fantastic quilter/bloggers
to support women worldwide
who are battling breast cancer.
A big thank you to Madam Samm
at Sew We Quilt,
and to Pat for being our wonderful cheerleader.

What fun!!! I am glad you are getting settled and starting a new hop!
How interesting to find this rare bird out of its comfort zone ;-) Can't wait to see what you created for the hop . Pretty cold here today I can tell you :-(
a very pretty song this bird sings.
Looking forward to see your contribution to the blog hop.
I'm glad to you joined in the hop fun. I am not in this one ... Go figure ! It's going to warm up soon here in Texas....I hope you'll get to stay through April, with all the rain we've had the wild flowers soon be gorgeous this year. Spring time is the prettiest time in Texas !
Welcome to Texas... Wish I were going to be in Texas longer. I'm migrating north to Chicago IL area due to hubby's job transfer. Vickie is right, the wildflowers in March and April are breathtaking!
Wow! Lovely to tick one off your list and seeing it must have been wonderful. Love little birds. Enjoy your slightly warmer migration x
I love your enthusiams for birds and nature. Have fun wuth the blog hop! Good luck too! Btw, the new tax laws don't affect me too much since I live in the EU. There is a mini one stopp shop that takes care of it for you. ;-)
Hugs, karen
