What a cutie!!!!

Anni @ I'd Rather B Birdin'

Okay, okay....you've really pushed my envy button this time. A Towhee, well----one that is on my list to photograph. I have only seen ONE for a fleeting moment, didn't even get a chance to get my camera up to my eye before it was gone to never be seen again.

WONDERFUL images!!! Thank you for sharing at I'd Rather B Birdin'!!

I love the dreamy quality of the photos. I have heard this is how you remember the call, but I have never seen or heart this pretty bird...Michelle

what a handsome bird and any bird that sings about drinking tea gets extra points from me!

I know that sinking into the afternoon feeling, maybe it's time to drink my tea!

Great post, I am not much a birder but you photographed this one well. I love the poem especially the "...sunlight spreading like honey on toast...

The Towhee is a favorite bird to me I enjoy the call to have some tea! I saw there is a Ruff on rare bird sightings list in Marion Oregon at the Ankeny NWR not too far from you!

. . . and here I sit, Sallie, drinking my morning tea. :) I love this; your photos, their placements, and this lovely poem. Thank you.

Cool shots of the towhee!

I like the rather melancholy poem. I remember catching and ringing towhees from Long Point although it is some years ago. I think I'm right that they are a rather large and colourful member of the sparrow family - a welcome change from the smaller browny,grey ones caught - Tree, Chipping, Lincoln etc.

Beautiful images Sallie.

Aimee

Blessings, Aimee

DeniseinVA

Sweet! And your photography is fantastic Sallie :)

Gaelyn

The poem and photo are a perfect match.

Some of our towhees in Florida sing "Tip your teeeeee" while those up in Illinois sing proper English as they sip, holding up their pinkie: "Drrrrrink your tea."

Gunilla

It's a very pretty bird. Take care!

Lowell

I love this, Sallie! Zen it is. The past is gone, an illusion. The future does not exist. All we have is the Now! Live in the Now...each moment. Look around, laugh and love, drink your tea!

Eileen

Hello Sallie, your Spotted Towhee is a lovely bird. Wonderful sighting and photos.
