Spotted Towhees in Julian

Earlier this November Marlene and I got a way for a weekend at a cabin in the woods. I photographed a single male Spotted Towhee several times on November 4 during the 10-1/2 hours I spent relaxing on the porch (oh why can't I be relaxing there now?). It was coming in to a water feature (rusty bucket), but I got many photos on more picturesque perches.
