Green-tailed Towhee

[c.j.]

Green-tailed Towhee Pipilo chlorurus

The sexes are similar in markings. They usually prefer thickets and tend to forage in low cover.This guy, in particular, I hand scatter seed to him, in a specific spot. He'll follow me around the grounds when his feeder is empty and he would like some seed. However, when impatient, he'll jump tree to tree, hoping to get noticed and rewarded with some food.

Thanks to all for the critiques and feedback. I've been taking photos for a while, but, never knew any of the technical aspects of the camera. I have just moved into a better camera, so, there will be a learning curve to get up to speed.

We've 'checked off the list' over 100 species of birds that have frequented our place, (most verified by Dr's Al and Dale Zimmerman). There are quite a few to go!
