Spotted Towhee

The Spotted Towhee is a common bird to see in your yard throughout the west. It is a large sparrow with a black head, back, and wings (the females are brown, and the males are black). Its side is a bright orange and its belly is white. Spotted towhees' look a lot like an Eastern Towhee, but they have spots on their wings and back, thus their name. 

The first time I saw a Spotted Towhee was when it was scraping in a leaf pile in search of food. It then started coming to our feeder, and now I see one almost every day. 

Spotted Towhees forage mostly on the ground, digging in search of seeds. In the summer, they eat a lot of insects and berries.

 Here is one scratching his head!

  I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about Spotted Towhees'! Bye!

Birds in the snow

Hello again! Its snowed today and i went outside to look for birds. It took awhile before i could find any birds, but I love the photos i got!

 Here is a California scrub jay on a power line.

 I saw a robin on a bush across the street, so I took some photos of him. I noticed there were some sparrows next to him. I was so happy to find out they were colorful finches!
There is, of course, the robin, then in the top right corner there is some sort of goldfinch, and there is also a house finch in the middle (the one with the red head).

I love this picture of this robin because you can see the snow falling.

 Here is a sparrow on our bird feeder. (this one is a little blurry because i took it through the window)

I hope you enjoyed these snowy bird pictures. It was fun taking them. Bye! :)
