The Townsend’s warbler and the Townsend’s solitaire still invoke John Kirk Townsend, whose journals detail his exploits in traditional Native Americans burial grounds in the West.

They consist of the birds commonly known as thrushes, robins, bluebirds, Townsend's solitaire, and the wheatears.

Townsend's solitaire, a bird of the far West, is a resident of high mountains and lonely gorges.

Dickerman saw a Townsend's Solitaire in the Sierra de la Madera on December 13, 1953.

With the exception of a similar exhibition by Townsend's solitaire—to be described in the closing chapter—up in the neighborhood of Gray's Peak, it was the most wonderful avian aeronautic exploit, accompanied with song, of which I have ever been witness.
