The Townsend's Solitaire just showed up in a crab apple tree at the Quarry
condos on Kelleys Island.  Seems to like the tree in front of Condo
Building #9 which is where the Bohemian Waxwing was several years ago.  The
bird was still feeding at 9:15 AM.  The condos are in "downtown" Kelleys
Island.  The bird hadn't been seen in 2 weeks.

Problems for people hoping to chase this bird.  No ferry today.  Tomorrow
the schedule is 8, 9, noon, 4 and 5.  Leaves the island on the half hour.
Cost is $19 per person and $30 for car round trip.  You can fly from Port
Clinton on Griffin Air but I don't know the schedule.  The cost is about
$100 round trip.

There are no lodgings on the island that I know of.  And no restaurants
open.  The Island Market is open from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM.  On the weekends
it maybe open longer.

I plan to be here until Saturday.  Very limited access to internet.  Cell
567-278-2300

Will try to post photos when I figure it out.

Tom
