A Towhee Feathursday
This week we present a few of those long-tailed sparrows, the Towhees!! These little beauties can be a bit shy, so they are often difficult to spot, but when you do, what a pleasure! Once again, these images are from Rex Brasher’s massive, limited-edition, 12-volume set Birds and Trees of North America, self-published in Kent, Connecticut, between 1929 and 1932, containing thousands of hand-colored reproductions of Brasher’s paintings.
These New World Passerines fall into two genera: Melozone and Pipilo, and we are showing specimens from both. From top to bottom, they are:
Male eastern towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus). So glad they respond to bird calls. This one was eager to chat it up with me.
