Male and Female Eastern Towhee

This pair is a hoot--they have been trying desperately to get in my back glass door. After bumping themselves over and over at the glass, they went up to survey their next attack atop my grill. So that might explain the odd holes I have in the cover--silly birds!

This is a true "couple"--they are always together. I have my tripod set up today to see if I can catch them going for the glass door again. They don't hurt themselves. They just want in I guess?

Aren't they lovely?
great capture and really like the crop

@brav Thanks Richard, focus is not great, but I had to act quickly! I'm hoping to hear them pecking at the door very soon to get a better shot today! :)

@gerry Thanks Gerry--it took me awhile to identify what kind of birds they were, but I love their colors too. They are sort of like our American Robin. :)

Oh WOW!!! I have only seen ONE female in my life, and didn't have the best of shots, but this is great! I actually have to go back in the woods to see them. Wonderful capture! :)

They do make a great couple! And at least they are bickering over the same glass door.lol!

@dstod They move so fast too; even read about how it's hard to capture them. They are such a funny pair. Glad you like it! Isn't the female lovely--really wish I had a better focus on this one.

@darylo spring is here and it is so welcomed by your birdies.

@shunter So many birdies too. How many years have I lived here and never really LOOKED at my birds in the backyard. Sheesh!
