    Spotted Towhee

    I have seen them with brown eyes and red eyes. I looked this one up on the internet since it wasn't in my National Audubon Society Field Guide To North American Birds and they called it the Spotted Towhee. I know KC probably knows the information on all these so maybe she can better explain it...

    It's about to plop down to the little water pool below with numerous other birds to be wary of. Careful, anxious.

    This might be best of that session. I have more on my camera including this morning, great light. Love these birds fear a couple cats, including a bobcat I saw this evening. They're badass.

  13. Towhee with sparrows

    Towhee with sparrows

    To answer your question, admin., the towhee is larger than the sparrows, in this shot golden-crowned, but they share the same family, emperizine, so they are related. While the sparrows are easy to photograph, the towhee avoids the camera and is quite adept at hiding in the thickets.

    California Towhee

    Taken at the Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline at about 13m. First time I saw and photographed one of these I thought, "what a bland little bird"...all grey, no spots, rather clay-like in appearance. But like most "critters," they grow on me after photographing them...

    Towhee on feeder

    This was one of the many backyard birds that came to the feeder that we have at work. Sometimes I spend my lunch sitting in my car just to capture the variety of birds at work.

    Changing my write-up on this bird with thanks to everyone who helped getting the species correct. I first thought it was a juvenile house sparrow.

  24. Abert's Towhee

    Abert's Towhee

    Aberts Towhee (Melozone aberti vorhiesi) Three subspecies are described with two or three being accepted, author dependent. Based on distribution only, I assume this is subspecies vorhiesi. Photographed in Patagonia, Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA at ca. 1,238 m (4,062 ft) elevation; riparian.
