Towhee on canvas
Original photo taken about 4 years ago. Topaz Studio used to provide canvas texture. The red eye of the Towhee is quite eye-catching ;)

Towhee baby tilts its head sideways to get mom's beak-full of mealworms.
Baby towhee in foreground, a mini-me version of mama. They are next to a watering bowl and post that holds a hummingbird feeder. Some wild desert tobacco is in frame also.
It's baby #bird season! Mama canyon #towhee feeding one of the babies outside my office window.

I had just brushed excess fur from our husky (who could shed another entire dog's worth of hair at any given moment) and left it in our yard. Immediately, sparrows began to pick up the hair and carry it back to bird boxes for their nests.
Towhees are common here in middle Tennessee, and I admire the fact that they aren't interested in the various foods we put out for birds, preferring to find their own. I've noticed that they often scratch around in the grass below feeders, because grub worms are attracted to the dirt that's often covered with discarded sunflower seeds. Towhees are difficult to to get in perfect exposure because of the sharp contrast between their black heads and white chests. One of my favorite birds to observe!
This Cooper's hawk had landed on a tomato stake, then hopped down to march around beneath the plants in our garden. Smaller birds like sparrows and wrens often take "dust baths" in the dried dirt of the garden, and that might have been what drew the hawk to ground level.
Mama robin collecting earthworms for her babies. You know those birds would prefer to swallow their catch, but that maternal instinct to feed their young prevails. We have robins year 'round here in middle TN, but twice a year migrating flocks of them will litter the ground in search of worms and insects. Occasionally we'll see robins eating mealworms that we put out for bluebirds. But it's rare to see a robin at one of our feeders, unless they're being territorial to keep other birds away.
Bird of the Day theme is "grounded" or alt theme "silhouette", so here's a silhouette of a sparrow with husky fur in its beak, along with a towhee, a Cooper's hawk, and a robin on the ground. The hawk was patrolling our garden.

Close up of a California Towhee, facing to the right, against a background of out of focus sand and green foliage. The bird's beak is open as it eats a seed.

It's already baby season in the #SonoranDesert. This is a canyon #towhee being fed by mama. Volume up!
Always cracks me up when baby #birds can clearly eat on their own, but let mama do it for them.
Alan's @alan678.bsky.social #BirdOfTheDay theme is #photogenic
But I find them all photogenic, which doesn't mean that they are not a challenge to capture 📸😢

Sotted towhee on a branch in the brush.
It is hard to get the spotted towhee to sit still enough to get a photo. They usually hop/fly off as soon as I come out with the camera.

Rufous-Sided Towhee. Rather amazing that nature provides enough food for birds to survive winter. #bird #birds #towhee #nature #photography
Spotted Towhee singing his heart out.

Rufous-Sided Towhee. Love the red eyes! I processed these after setting up my new computer to make sure all was working properly. Seems like it is so maybe I can get back to my photography. #bird #birds #towhee #nature #photography

A Common Grackle displays brilliant bluish iridescent feathers as it perches on an open bowl feeder, back turned toward the camera with head turned right, framed by lush green foliage.
A house finch, three American goldfinches, and an Eastern towhee gather at stacked bowl feeders in a snowy scene. Two goldfinches occupy the top bowl while the house finch, towhee, and a third goldfinch feed from the lower tier, all dusted with fresh snow. Behind them, bare winter branches create a stark backdrop.
Per Rob (@robcrank68.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Iridescent with Alt theme as #Finches.
I've gone with a common #grackle from 2025 and a #housefinch and #goldfinches from three days ago. An Eastern #Towhee also joins the party!

An Eastern Towhee claims the snow-covered feeder while an American Goldfinch waits its turn nearby.
Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), the #BirdOfTheDay theme today is #BrownIsBeautiful with the alt theme being #Yellow.
My contribution is this Eastern #Towhee feeding at one of our feeders while a #Goldfinch waits nearby.
