Linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
For this week's Wild Bird I am featuring the Eastern Towhee. I have been enjoying this pretty male right outside my window which in front of my treadmill. Some people watch TV walking while they are on the treadmill, I watch the birds outside my window..
The male Eastern Towhee is a handsome bird. They have a black head upper body and tail. Rufous sides and white underneath...

I think they are residents in Maryland.. I have seen them all over the state of Maryland and in Shenandoah Nat'l Park, Virginia..

This female Eastern Towhee has the rufous sides and is mostly a brownish color on the back and wings..
The view outside my window while I am walking on my treadmill.. The Eastern Towhee is sharing a meal with the White-throated Sparrows.
Another look outside my window at the Eastern Towhee!
I hope you enjoyed my wild bird post.. Till next week's wild bird post.. I wish you happy Birding and have a wonderful week!

Hello Eileen,
Beautiful images of this Eastern Towhee.
Really captured very well.
The first photo is my favorite.
Best regards, Irma
Hi Eileen, you're watching the finest tv while you're walking at your window :)
I fell in love the last one, it looks so plushy :D
Have a fine day

Beautiful bird.. Nice colors.. Cheers..
Beautiful photos, Eileen!
Happy bird watching walks!
This looks a lovely bird Eileen and you have managed great shot of it.
Nice clicks....
Hello Eileen,
Wonderful to see these kind of birds. Here we can see them only in special bird parks.
Many greetings,
Marco
Nice photos of one of my favorite birds. They usually show up around here in May--and only stay for a brief time. We sure enjoy them while they're visiting!
:)
I think that is a lovely view from the treadmill you have. Nature is much more fascinating then TV :)
Caminhar na esteira fazendo exercícios com um visual desses é lindo! Vale muito! bjs, tudo de bom,chica
Great bird - I saw a spotted version last year! Don't think it will be on this years list!
Nice.

A lovely series of the Towhee. I saw the Spotted Towhee in Seattle last year and liked them too. A great idea to watch the birds while on your treadmill.
Lovely photos ! We don't have those pretty birds here . If I had a treadmill I would be doing the same thing watching the birdies as I was on it but instead I walk our yard and valley and watch the birds lol or just take it easy and look out my kitchen windows lol Thanks for sharing , Have a good week !
He's neat and attractive!
so cute. I think I'll go fill the feeders now.
They are such an attractive bird...and I love their sound...:)JP
The Towhees are good looking birds! I don't see them here in Iowa.
your view from the treadmill is much preferable over anything on TV. our Cardinals are screaming springtime for the last 3 days. our temps soared into 78 degrees the last 3 days and now their is a chorus of birds
I'm still trying to get a descent shot of an Eastern Towhee. :)) Unfortunately I have never seen one in my yard.
Cute is the first picture of a very nice bird. Regards.
Great shots of the Eastern Towhee! I haven't gotten that close to one yet.
i'm jealous as i've never seen a towhee in person.
such handsome birds, those towhees
How wonderful to see these cute birds right outside your window!
Lovely bird. You've reminded me I need to get on the elliptical trainer today. Any minute now!

It has to be the Eastern Towhee, beautiful images Eileen.
Hello Eileen!!
Wonderful pictures of the Eastern Towhee!I have never seen this bird!So cute!!Great shots!Like the first photo!Hope you have a lovely week!
Dimi...
That is a great looking bird Eileen, and well captured.
We have Towhees as well, and you got some lovely snaps. Around here some call them Rufous Sided Towhees. Happy Week~
Wow, such incredible beauty, and something new for me again. A Towhee, I have to look into this bird. The coloring is striking!
Such a handsome bird! I had one stop in my yard last year while migrating.
A really handsome bird to be able to watch from your window.
Hi Eileen,
Lovely bird the Towhee. Never seen one before, until visiting your blog today.
Is there a TowShe? :)
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Eileen what a great way to pass the time while exercising, and you get such lovely pictures. This is one beautiful bird.
Gorgeous bird! I really envy your view.
Some great shots Eileen! I kid you not I have spent today trying to get a decent shot. This is the second year I have had them. Thanks for sharing the female. I know now I've only seen males. I do learn from your knowledge.
What welcomed visitors to distract you while you do the treadmill. Much better than tv!
Super bird Eileen and much more relaxing than watching TV.
What a lovely bird. I don't think I've ever seen one in person.
I've never seen one in Pa...interesting..Pretty bird :)
Good shots.
That first shot is gorgeous! I like the female towhee....I've never seen her before. Great photos!
Such a pretty bird !!
That female is beautiful...for the first time I really think the woman is the more beautiful of a pair of birds.
Thanks Eileen. I'm learning a little more about birds with every post.
Nice shots of this attractive bird. I'd like to see one myself.
Love these guys! I just don't see them very often.
I have never seen the Eastern Towhee up close and personal and here you are looking out your window while on the treadmill enjoying the view. I agree the male is a handsome bird as is the female. Perhaps I should get a treadmill ... maybe that's the trick. :)

You have the best birds, and now retirement time to really pursue them!!!
They are so handsome Eileen. I think I may have seen them once in my yard but I would have to check!!
Nice to have such a great view while exercising!!
Thanks for sharing these images. Great captures! Feel free to come link up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2015/02/bathing-in-bubble.html
Oh wow, great pictures of the Eastern Towhee Eileen. Both male and female are really neat looking birds. Have a great week :)
Quite a nice view! My grandson and I have been watching the birds a lot this week too. We even saw some robins.
Great photos of beautiful birds and how nice to be able to watch them while you exercise!
Nicely captured.
Hi Eileen, The Towhees are gorgeous birds! Outstanding photographs. Have a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow!
He's very pretty! It's amazing that the males and females look so different. And it's no fair the males are usually the prettier of the two. :)
I haven't seen one here and I will have to go look and see if they are even in this area at all. Lovely photos.. Watching birds is better than TV much of the time...Michelle
Great captures. I wish some of them visited me. :)
A great looking bird, especially the male Eastern Towee. Lovely shots Eileen.:)
He is really gorgeous Eileen, I can well understand your fascination for the birds in your yard!
Do you run on a treadmill as you watch???!!!!!
Cheers, keep well :)

Bom dia, apreciar as lindas aves pela sua janela é um privilegio ter a companhia deles.
As fotos são de excelência.

Really wonderful, Eileen.
Best regards, Synnöve
The towee is such a beautiful bird :)
Beautiful Towhee!
Have a wonderful day!
They look like the towhee's we have in the west. I have always liked them.
I think watching the birds is the right thing to do. :) And take shots of them. :)
I knew this bird did not and had never seen them. Beautiful bird and beautiful clear photographed.
Greetings, Helma
You really showed the Towhee's features beautifully, Eileen. The male looks similar to the Towhees we see here in the west, but the female seems very different. Love the auburn colouring. Thanks so much for hosting. I just squeaked in this week under the time limit :) Have a wonderful day!
Excellent photos and beautiful birds !
Greetings
Hello Eileen. I think "handsome" is a very appropriate word to use when describing this towhee. Those colours certainly make me think that yours got dressed up in his best suit for your pictures.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
Always sweet and welcome, Eileen!

I'd be glued to my window all day if I had such a handsome visitor in MY yard!
I'm thinking I'd kill myself if I tried to take pictures while on the treadmill! But I'd rather see your birds than any TV show anytime! The towhee looks like it has a longer tail than the western one we see (in Oregon ) ... Otherwise very similar.
Such a gorgeous bird! I've never seen one of these. Thanks for sharing your treadmill TV!
Beautiful birds Eileen. I agree that watching birds on the treadmill or any other time is far better than TV. Great pics of the Towhee, he has slightly different markings from the rotors sided towhee here.
Dearest Eileen; the Towhees both male and female look really handsome and beautiful♡♡♡ Your phrase in the first paragraph made me smile; how I wish living in your nature :-)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
That is a much nicer view than a TV screen. He sure is a handsome bird.
I love to watch the towhees, you got great pictures out your window! Have a great day! Phyllis
Wonderful photos, Eileen. I don't think I have ever seen such gorgeous starlings...they are glorious! And last weekend my hubby asked me what kind of bird that was with all of our others. I looked it up and sure enough...it was an Eastern towhee!
Much more entertaining than TV!
They are handsome birds! Great photos Eileen...
