Spotted Towhee At Jackson Bottom Wetlands

It must be the full moon, as I woke up very early and just couldn't go back to sleep...so off I went to watch the eagles and then visit Jackson Bottom Wetlands.  I thought this sweet towhee was so cute!  It was a bit chilly this morning with a rather brisk wind.

Then I went by the "bushtit" nest and found that it had fallen off the tree again...so we retrieved it and laid it up on a fork of the tree.  Luckily the parents found it right away and started feeding the babies again.  Later, Dennis Manzer stopped by and reattached it with a string and reported that the parents were feeding them and removing waste pellets, so everything is back to normal.
