This & next 7: Spotted Towhee
|
Despite many attempts I couldn't get a decent photo of the Spotted Towhee pictured here. Two things puzzled me about the bird: first, its eyes weren't red/orange like countless ones I've seen, and photographed, in higher elevations, and, second, I've never seen one down here in the lower desert. From its markings, though, it's undoubtedly a Spotted Towhee.
Dr. K, Willow and I had a pleasant hike today, following our regular route. With the exception of the towhee and a rock wren we saw no other desert denizens--none, at least, that we could identify.
When we got home Dr. K got ready and left for her shopping stint at Target.
