This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_SumcDfL8BJ7OSOkDsyxQUQ) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT I revisited the home of Graham and Vicky Hawkins again this morning with his kind prior permission. I waited from 9AM until 9:45 AM when the Spotted Towhee arrived for a ten minute stay. It foraged mostly on the ground and is not a shy bird by any means. I took a lot of photos mostly with twigs and leaves hiding portions of the bird but was generally satisfied I got the best photos I could under the shady and contrasty conditions. But, alas, all the photos are still severely cropped. We also had this rare bird in our back yard but not in Portuguese Cove. It was in Winnipeg 11 years ago where it is also rare. This bird is easy to find and photograph at the Reifel Sanctuary in Richmond, B. C., where it's very tame. I'll post the photos this evening.
