Favorite little bird

The Spotted Towhee or Rufouss-sided Towhee is one of my favorite birds. I love to hear him skritch scratch around in the underbrush. They are so chipper. MB

Nice capture of it feeling safe in the trees.

I don't know, Mary Beth. Chipper birds can keep one awake! ;-)

Cute little critter, though...looks like a robin bob, bob, bobbing along!

Re your comment on Ocala DP: Things have changed a lot. We were there for a basketball game and they had a huge bunch of cheerleaders, dressed in skimpy little outfits, and it was so fun to watch them checking out the guys every chance they got!

And nary a nun in sight!

Still, if you read the material on their website, you realize that the main mission is not so much to educate as to mold good little Catholic boys and girls, which is called indoctrination. :-)

You got a wonderful picture of the Towhee.
