A red-winged blackbird, positioned diagonally with the tail in the top right corner of the frame, perches on an angled feeder pole and is about to dive towards a tube feeder on the left right. The backdrop is out of focus greenery.

Two bowl feeders and a metal ring are attached to a vertical pole with the ring positioned between the two feeders. An American Robin perches on the metal ring, facing right, head raised high and tail tilted downwards. An Eastern Towhee perches on the rim of the top bowl feeder, back towards the camera. Out-of-focus greenery fills the backdrop.

Per Rob (@robcrank68.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BlackHeads and the Alt Theme is #Grey.

I've gone for the primary theme.

This Eastern Towhee was all fluffed up and busy singing away this afternoon — windy and unseasonably cold for this time of year.

Cellphone shots from about 15 feet away.

Came across this Eastern Towhee the other day -- foraging and announcing itself with its characteristic "chewink" calls.

Their calls are some of the most pleasing to the ears.

A metal pole supports three helically arranged metal rings. The top and bottom rings support two feeders, while the middle ring is missing one. An American Robin is perched on the rim of the middle ring while an Eastern Towhee is perched on the rim of the bottom of the ring. Both birds in profile are looking towards the feeder in the top ring.

Per Alan (@alan678.bsky.social), today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #SongBirds with the alt #PerfectlyPerched.

It may be a double for me today with this photo of an Eastern Towhee and an American Robin together.

An eastern towhee on the floor of a deck. The deck floor is full of bird droppings and seeds.

Eastern Towhee in our backyard this morning. I always see one Towhee at a time. They seem like solo birds.
