Day 45: It's Towhee season! When the weather turns cold, I can always count on an influx of Spotted (formerly Rufous-Sided) Towhees at my feeders. They like the protection offered by the contorted filbert as do other small birds since fast-flying predators like hawks can't follow them easily into its interior. The tangle of branches all too frequently foils the photographer's lens as well. This morning, I had half a dozen Towhees show up for breakfast. I stood out in the cold waiting until one perched on an outer limb. Thanks, Towhee! Extra seed for you!
