It was seen in that area through February 1; what may have been the same individual was spotted in nearby Swansea by Liam Waters on February 21. Jonathan Eckerson took the photo above.</p> <p class="caption"><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Assets/bo46-2/hotbirds_solitaire_offermann_82712911.jpg" title="" /><br /> One of the most long-staying vagrant birds of the winter, a <strong>Townsend&rsquo;s Solitaire</strong>, originally detected on November 12 at Demarest Lloyd State Park by Glenn d&rsquo;Entremont, continued to be seen and photographed there through February 13. Jeff Offerman took the photo above.</p> <p class="caption"><img alt="" src="/Portals/0/Assets/bo46-2/hb_slaty_sean_86741931.jpg" title="" /><br /> Jeremiah Trimble found a third-year <strong>Slaty-backed Gull</strong> at Fresh Pond on February 16. A few days later, what was apparently the same bird was detected in Gloucester by Sean Williams! The bird was found only for one day in each location; is it still a one-day wonder if it is found for one day each in two different places? Sean took the photo above.</p>
