Eastern Towhee at Wooton Wetlands Park.

Despite the dire predictions, I went early to Wooton in hopes of getting my birding fix before the rain started. It never did rain, and I had a mostly sunny day.
The Towhee was my first female and I had a Red Eyed Vireo along with a nice variety of other birds. A quick afternoon trip to Truxtun produced a few good birds as well.
