This a special update as of Tuesday, February 2, 1999 at 10:40pm



The TOWNSEND'S SOLITAIRE continues to be seen through today along

the south section of Illinois Trees Trail loop 2.  It has been

seen on the hill across from parking 2; flying towards Crabtree

Lake; and all over the clearing where it was first located.

People report having to work as long as 2 hours to see this bird.



To get to the location where the Solitaire was seen, park in lot

2, cross the street and go up the hill with all the pines.  At

the top, you'll see a wood chip trail.  Take it east past the

"Plants of Korea" sign.  On your left will be an oak woodland

with freshly cut stumps and wood chips.  This is the area where

the Solitaire has been seen the most.



All other reports will be covered in the next main report.



Thank you to everyone who called or emailed reports this week.



Thank you for calling the DuPage Birding Club Hotline.
