The mommster and I kept hearing a lovely "chirp-chirp-chirp trill" sound coming from an unseen bird the last day or so but could never spot the dang thing. Finally, I managed a brief sighting or two and it turned out to be this spotted towhee. I believe there are more than one frequenting her yard and I hope to have my camera at the ready for a potentially better shot. But yeesh, these little dudes are elusive!
Okay. Last post of the night as I'm caught up after missing a few days due to being on the road. Thanks as ever for hanging in there with me--you're the best!
Well caught. I have a bird voice recognition application in my mobile phone. Often, instead of looking for a bird, I end up for reading the description on the Internet.
