A Spotted Towhee
Panasonic DMC-G1, Lumix 45-200mmThis guy was seen in Marin, and I had fun researching his name because I don't remember seeing one before.
It's a handsome bird with vivid, orange/red eyes, and a jet black colored head.
Lea, was this bird in that Audubon book that you saw at the library? :)

I have two Towhee nests in my yard as well as a common Towhee in the front yard. They are great to watch as they spend consideralbe time on the ground searching for food and generally scruffing up the organic ground debris.

They have the book in a glass case, open to one page. And I think it was turned to a egret...
Cute pic, I like the shadow on the pole.
