Townsend Solitaire in Santa Cruz County
After looking through the literature and comparing notes with Clark P. Streator, I believe that a female Townsend Solitaire (Myadestes townsendi) taken by me is the first record, or at least one of the very few records, of this bird in Santa Cruz County. It was taken on February 1.5, 1939, about two miles northwest of Corralitos along the new Rider road. This spot is at an elevation of 650 feet and is deep in the coast redwood-Douglas fir belt of this part of the County.
