Eastern Towhee Close-up

Yesterday the twig was brown and bare; To-day the glint of green is there; Tomorrow will be leaflets spare; I know no thing so wondrous fair, No miracle so strangely rare. I wonder what will next be there!

    A beautiful bird. And his eye color is unusual but it matches some of his other colors.

    I had a Towhee here most of the winter, but now he has moved on. A most interesting bird. Great catch.
