Angry Bird II by grammyn

Angry Bird II

I thought this was a Robin until I looked more closely. I have no idea what it is but I like his coloring!

Edit. My bird guru @vskolnik has informed me it is an eastern towhee.
I love the title after seeing the capture of this bird... Nice and fun.

Great definition in the feathers. I don't know birds but I'm guessing someone will tell you what it is.

It looks more like a British robin than an American one--but I don't have a clue what it is. Pretty colors, though.

Not sure what it is either but I love how it is all puffed up :) looks so fluffy! :)

@eudora I was hoping @vskolnik would see it and tell me! She is amazing with bird shots. Thanks, Diane!

@kbalychev He puffed up because it was cold! Apparently we are having winter in March this year!

What a great shot! LOL!!!!....It could be a Towhee of some sort. When I'm on by computer with a larger screen, I'll be able to see better ...I'm on my phone now:)

@grammyn Yes, I think it is an Eastern Towhee. It is very similar to the Spotted Towhees in California. You can read more here: http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/662/overview/Eastern_Towhee.aspx

@vskolnik Thanks so much, Vee! After your earlier post I looked since I knew where to start and agree with you. Thanks so much for the help!

@digitalrn After I looked more closely I realized Robins aren't that black and have no white on their chests but that is about the extent of my bird knowledge!

He looks manic!!! Such a nasty glint in his eye! Lots of nice details here, colour, texture, curve and lines!

@ruthmouch LOL! You might be right! thanks for all the nice comments, Ruth!

Aww poor little guy. I wonder why he's upset.
Very pretty coloring. Was this at your house?

this was at my husband's store. it was cold and there were other birds in the area! He may have been protecting, something!
