Spotted Towhee ~ This towhee seemed to be about the most commonly seen and heard bird at Descanso Gardens this week. This one held still long enough for a quick camera shutter click. I love his red eye.
Song Sparrow ~ Taken this week at Descanso Gardens in Southern California.
Verdin & Nest ~ Although not a gorgeous picture, I don't often get a chance to shoot a Verdin right at its nest. This bird was coming back to the nest often, hopping inside, and flying out again. This time I captured it just before it entered the nest. The Verdin is a tiny bird that lives in desert environments; this one was at Salton Sea, in California.
