HEY RED!

What to my wondering eye did I see when I opened the blinds this morning?


Why I believe it's my old pal, the Rufous Sided Towhee, who summers in these parts.

With the mercury in the low 40's it seemed a little early for a bath in that cold water.

But sure enough he spent quite a time there enjoying a vigorous dousing in the birdbath.


I don't know how long he'd been there but I managed to get a couple of pictures before he flew off.
