Towhee

This is not my photo but I wanted to post it because I saw a Towhee in my backyard yesterday and they are somewhat rare around here, at least I haven't seen one in many years.

Such a pretty bird, looks something like a robin only smaller and has a white breast.

Listen to its song, "Drink-your-teeeeee"

What a beautiful little bird! I don't think that I have ever seen one.

I like the call, very pretty. SammyBird started answering while I was listening to it lol.

Wow!
Try him with some other bird songs. That link I gave you will lead to a list if you click on the title at top.

I already explored it this morning, Sammy quieted down, I learned a lot about all the different calls I've been hearing, and discovered Boo has a distinct aversion to Mallard Ducks...

Rainy days indoors must be fun at your house..doggies, birds, etc. Do you still have Ms. Ratty Rat?

She passed away, seemingly peacefully I believe from old age. She was a sweet little critter.

I want to build an outdoor aviary of some sort so the birds can enjoy the great outdoors. I know I get antsy stuck inside, imagine how they feel!
