His name has changed since I last saw him..it was rufous-sided towhee then. And I was in my teens or early twenties and working at a veterinarian's office in another county.
Having him show up at the feeder today was a thrill and a half. Not a lifer, but I will settle for second-time-in-the-lifer quite happily.
He was really tame and hung around for quite a while. A real ooh-ahh bird for me.

Wow! I had seen a photo of a towhee that someone from western NY had posted, and I thought the same thing - I've seen them before, but not for decades. That's exciting!
Lucky ducky! I feel blessed to merely hear these birds a couple times a year.
Great shots..:-)
Linda, he was back yesterday! Awful tame though. I hope he survives and brings friends.
NW, wish you could see him....wait if you have time, stop down. Just give us a call and the boss will come get you. He has been hanging around mid to late morning. Coolest thing in years.
Cathy, I feel privileged. First towhee since I was still driving my first car...which was actually a pick up truck. lol
Ed, thanks!
