Spotted Towhee

Vancouver Island, BC

This male towhee was enjoying the sunshine and not too worried about posing for me. I was able to snap a number of shots, unfortunately the bushes weren't as cooperative as the towhee and kept getting in the way. Unusual fact: A group of towhees are collectively known as a "tangle" and a "teapot" of towhees.
