Welcome to my visual dairy of the beautiful birds I photographed during the spring months. I was fortunate to see and photograph an adult Green-tailed Towhee, which was only the second time of sighting this species in eight years. This songbird can be hard to see since it lives in dense, shrubby habitat. But, it is such a treat to see this grayish colored bird since it is decorated with olive-yellow wings, back and tail, the head is strongly marked with a bright rufous crown, a white throat, and a dark “mustache” stripe.
