Green-tailed Towhee

I saw a my first Green-tailed towhee this evening. Actually, I heard it first, and since I didn't recognize his call, it caught my attention. He was scratching around in the ground litter under the orange tree and then hopped up on the back wall so I got a good look at him (or her).

They don't summer in Tucson so clearly it's here for the winter. That's one of the things that's great about living in the southwest--you see MORE (different types) birds in winter than summer.
