I was wandering through the woods in Arizona when I heard the Towhee's call. After some scurrying about, he placed himself on display.

This bird is all over Mt Lemmon at about 5-6,000 feet of elevation, perhaps the northern-most point of its range. I found this particular junco as I was hiking a mountain trail to Marshall Gulch.

I found this bird at the end of South Fork Road in the Chiricahua Mountains where the road bends right over the small bridge.

The first stage of migration in Northern Michigan is a wave of a few sparrow species. For the past week or so, the fox sparrows have been bouncing about on the forest floor near my yard. I photographed this guy straight out of my living room window. The green background is a single spruce tree about forty feet back.
