Yesterday, as I walked to work I heard a really lovely bird song, repeatedly and I could see a small bird (maybe with some pale yellow on it), flitting from branch to branch and as I knew I had a day of meetings and little chance to get my camera out, I didnt bring it to work........so this morning, I was determined to check out the same bird and I couldn't find it.
As I turned up to the steps of my office, I am pretty fortunate, I have a corner office of a victorian mansion building and right outside is a dogwood and a conifer and I noticed that our ordinary sparrows here have turned into white-throated then all of a sudden I noticed a predominantly black bird, with some rusty red and a few splashes of white here or there. At first, I thought I had a strange robin (lots of robins around here) but then he came back again and I am almost 100% certain I have a spotted Towhee. What a dilemma, get into work on time at 8.30 or hang around outside for the shot :) Well, I got the shots and now keep looking out to see if he is still here - who knew I'd have something so unusual (for me), right outside my office.
I can barely wait to get home to upload the photos. Argh!
