Eastern Towhee

[Dogleader35037]

My Towhees have returned, I have not seen the female yet, last year I had the good fortune to have them all summer and see their young. They like to feed in the brush but once again the cracked corn was to much to resist. DL

Great shot of this one DL, those legs look prehistoric. Green backgound is perfect! Congrats on a great shot!

Kind regards,
MAC

Wow, DL! You have taken bird photography to a whole new level. This is the best tohee picture I have seen. Really incredible. Looks like the light on the stump was more manageable this time

With great respect,

Hi Dogleader,

Really fantastic, what a nice colors and what a nice bird to, congratulations again. What camera and lens do you use for your bird shots ?

With kind regards,--Dirk Vermeirre

DL,

This is truly a beautiful shot. If this is the same species of bird, here in Missouri they're called "rufous-sided towhee". It looks similiar.

I can't help but notice the feet and legs on this bird. My wife and I wondered if this is an older, very mature bird. Also, its' right foot looks like it is missing a toe. Could just be the camera angle. Very interesting.

Anyway, you've done it again. The master of dpreview bird photography. thanks for sharing, again........

Okay, DL, now every time you post a pic, I keep thinking it's your best yet. Now, THIS one is your best yet!! WOW! That camera was worth the expense, for the pleasure it's giving you........hey, you could have spent that much on a one week trip to Fargo or somewhere, and after a week it'd be gone!!

Hi DL,

Woweee, this Towhee needs a pedicure! Gorgeous photo. Keep this up and you may have a future with National Geographic when you retire! Very very nice, the detail and colors are breathtaking. Curt A.

Another nice one, DL. This one looks upset, probably because the Mrs. hasn't come back yet to make supper. --GeorgeEOS D30 ~ 50mm f/1.4 ~ 200mm f/2.8 L II

Wow, DL, triple A quality and then some. What more can I say.

Hi DL,

Since I have no more superlatives left I will just say wow. Great looking bird, great looking image. I am happy that the new camera is working so well for you.

DL - Another great picture. I like the green background on this - it makes a nice foil to the bird's colors. I noticed how rough the Towhee's legs were - seems to be quite different from those of other birds I seen.
