Here’s me getting busted by this lovely female Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus) sitting on the fence with the SalmonBerry Bush. I haven’t seen her this season, but she showed up today and I’m happy! So will her mate I guess!

On a wet rainy day, there’s noplace the Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus) would rather be than kicking and scratching around in the leaf litter for whatever it can find to eat. This time a nice sunflower seed!

A Spotted Towhee. For the most part these birds are very shy. They generally are on the ground and keep under cover. This one has been with us since fledging. It’s finally got it’s adult feathers and is very handsome. It has been around long enough that it will go on the feeders. Here it’s on a tray with Niger seed. This seems to be a favourite, for this guy anyway!

I rarely post more than one shot, but this is the same bird as my previous post. I just had to post this one! Seems I was only supposed to take the good side shot! Sorry, Towhee, I guess I didn’t get the memo!

In the same bush as yesterday, this Spotted Towhee is waiting for a chance to get to the feeder. Snow, rain and cold weather persist here, so the feeders are very active.
In this time of freezing temperatures and snow, remember that it’s important that the birds have a source of water. They like us, need water!

Here’s a Spotted Towhee in our backyard. It was at one of our Suet feeders. This is strange because they usually eat off the ground. I wondered why, until I downloaded the imaged and realized that it has a deformed bill. I suppose it is easier for it to eat. Hope it sticks around because we always have suet around!
