This Evening Outside

Welcome Back Eastern Towhee

As the evening turns dusky, an eastern towhee picks through the grass and last year's leaves, scratching for edibles. I'm happy to see he's returned again now that winter is over. And I'm glad this bit of Iowa offers what towhees need in order to settle in for another nesting season.

Name that bird!

NGS Field GuideA field guide (bird book) will help you to recognize the birds that share your life.

One that we like a lot is the National Geographic Guide to Birds of North America, Fifth Edition. It covers all the birds in North America, and the illustrations are beautiful.
