Singing His Song

Southern Vancouver Island

Interesting fact: Early in the breeding season, male Spotted Towhees spend their mornings singing their hearts out, trying to attract a mate. Male towhees have been recorded spending 70 percent to 90 percent of their mornings singing. Almost as soon as they attract a mate, their attention shifts to other things, and they spend only about 5 percent of their time singing. ~ All About Birds

We only see these when they migrate. Beautiful detailed capture of this pretty bird and you caught a great pose of him singing. V.
