Eastern Towhee

I had basically not taken a photo all day - and then about twenty minutes ago I tossed out the late afternoon birdseed. Not a creature in sight. I turned around and went back in the house and then came back to see who had turned up. There was a deer sneaking into the yard, the usual squirrel stuffing his face, and this guy. I see the towhee rarely enough that it always gives me a bit of a thrill when he shows up, so here he is for my blip today.

The extra is continuing the tongue theme with the tiptoeing deer...
