I had a first the other day.
Last week, I got to see an eastern towhee for the first time in real life. I had seen pictures, but had never gotten to see one in real life. The beauty of it was that it was in my own backyard less than 6 feet from the window AND it came back the next day about the same time.
They love whatever is in my yard. I don't even need to throw seeds out in this yard. The birds love my yard as is. It just seem to be full of whatever they need and want, naturally. I just watch and enjoy. There are all kinds of birds that just scratch around on the ground. Some stand and watch the others scratch around on the ground, then jump down and join in. There are tons of different species of woodpeckers that seem to love whatever bugs are on the trees in that jungle that is my backyard.
I can't believe I finally got to see an eastern towhee.
