Nice catch Gary. The bird stands out nicely against the background.

Beautiful shot Gary. The berries really add interest to the photo.

Almost every Towhee I have ever seen has been scratching on the ground and in the leaves... so I appreciate an exceptional habitat shot like this... what a beauty Gary, I envy this shot my friend.

Great shot Gary, I had one around here for a couple of months and never did get a decent shot of him.

Really nice capture! Those Towhees are tough to get out in the open like that.
