Multiple solitaires

mong the thrushes north of the Mexican border, Townsend’s Solitaire may seem unique. But farther south, from Mexico and the Caribbean to South. They are recognizably similar to Townsend’s in overall shape and behavior, and all are notable singers, some with beautiful or even remarkable songs. Their fine vocal abilities have led to conservation problems for some because many individuals are captured and removed from the wild to be sold as cage birds in some Latin American countries.
