The gang little birds has returned with some larger tag-alongs.

One was a TOWHEE for sure, but I think it was an EASTERN TOWHEE. It was a male, but did not have the dark red eyes one associates with a Western Towhee. I keep going back to my window in hopes it again kicks its way out from under the rhodie bush.

The JUNCOS are out in force, along with a few SONG SPARROWS, the GOLD CROWN KINGLETS, and BLACK CAPPED CHICKADEES.

Also a pair of VARIED THRUSHES just passed through.

But I'm really interested in the Towhee....Was it an Eastern? Or just hiding its white and the light playing tricks on me?

Lydia In Everett,

Just East of Highway 9, southwest of Lake Stevens
