The hard rain has stopped but a fine mist has continued to fall all day. At least it is fairly warm. Off and on today I have watched two male Towhees displaying and vying for the attention of a female.Tail feather spreading, wing stretching and high hopping appeared to be the main ways of displaying. Several times the two males would take to the are in mock fighting.
I still haven't seen one of these. I keep looking though.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a Towhee in Maine either. They are in my New England bird book though, I will have to look harder. Pretty bird and nice photos Paula.
ReplyDeleteHello ladies! For whatever reason I have lots of them here at the house. I really like their coloration. Their antics are quite fun to watch while they are courting the lady birds.
