A Red Eyed Towhee

Yesterday as I was walking in a nearby park with my daughter and grandson, I came across this colorful little fellow.  I had never seen a guy like this before, so to the internet I went.  He is in fact a red eyed towhee also called "chewinks" for their call and "ground robins" because like robins they are ground feeders.  They belong to the family "Fringillidae" or family of finches.  And now you know!!

Live well and prosper.
