Eastern Towhees Pose at Terrapin Nature Park

I enjoy birding, but I’m not a fan of cold, windy weather, so I’m glad the good weather is continuing. I had to fix a friend’s computer this morning, so I left early in order to get to the park near dawn. It was just as busy as yesterday, but I didn’t get the variety I was seeking. The Eastern Towhee was a nice find, however.

Eastern Towhee

I’ve had difficulty getting a good pose from these birds, so I’m thankful to this one. It’s an adult male, red eyed, Eastern Towhee.

This Red Bellied Woodpecker may be contemplating the coming day.

From Cornell:
“The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is the only woodpecker in eastern North America that is completely migratory. Although a few individuals remain throughout much of the winter in the southern part of the breeding range, most head farther south, going as far south as Panama. Females tend to migrate farther south than do males.”

I saw many more Ruby Crowned Kinglets than on previous days.

Bluebird

I don’t often see Bluebirds at the park.

  1. Tri-colored, yet! (The towhee, I believe)…also, one of your earlier shots/birds looked just like its ancestor–the dinasour…Fun!

  2. Wish the Ruby Crown would crown.. Such a beauty when they do ( I know now thanks to you) Love the Towhee. Such great markings…
