 Could have been two birds.

 Dave Galvin and I led a Birds Connect Seattle outing this morning at Discovery Park’s (Seattle) South Meadow where we found a Townsend’s Solitaire.  We got a brief view of the bird atop a tall conifer but then about 20 minutes later a much better view in a low, fruit-bearing tree along “Bird Alley” most of the way to the sandy bluff.  Seeing the bird twice suggested to us at least that it may be ensconced in the South Meadow (though seemingly driven off its perch by an Anna’s Hummingbird on our second viewing!)  
Three different Cooper’s Hawks also sighted, a pair making a rather acrobatic display just overhead.  Our eBird checklist can be found at S150427121
