Two well detailed ground level portraits, Vic.

A stunning close-up of this gorgeous Towhee species. Magnificent Vic!

Nice image, thanks for sharing it with us.

By the way

Our new Bird Forum/Opus system searches the Gallery by the information contained in the tags placed with an image.

Even if the information is in the title, it needs to be tagged. The most important tags are Common Name, Scientific Name, and Location, at a minimum.

It is the presence of these tags that will allow searchers to find and enjoy your most beautiful images. I'm sure you would be disappointed should someone happen to miss seeing one, or more, of them simply because no tags were present.

Your assistance in making this happen by placing tags on your uploaded images will be appreciated very much.

You've a superb picture of this towhee Victoria.

Many thanks for showing him to us lass.

Such nice detail of this bird. I love the face and throat plumage. Thanks for posting.
