Male Eastern Towhee
Marvel at the vivid snapshot of a male Eastern Towhee, engaged in the simple pleasure of feasting on a sunflower seed in the midst of Kevin’s backyard, captured on the vibrant summer day of August 3rd, 2020. This striking image showcases the Towhee’s distinctive black head and chestnut sides, set against a backdrop of rich, textured mulch and the verdant green of a well-maintained lawn. The bird’s intense red eye, a signature feature of the species, stands out as it diligently cracks open the seed, unperturbed by the presence of the camera. This photo not only exemplifies the beauty of native wildlife in their natural foraging behavior but also serves as an enchanting example of backyard biodiversity for bird enthusiasts and conservationists alike.
