[Leica] IMG: Towhee Nest

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Trimming Nandina bushes is an annual chore at my house.  This year, for the 
first time, I discovered by accident that one of the bushes was "occupied".  
The female Towhee visited the nest one more time after I trimmed around it, 
but I haven't seen her since. 

The egg markings and colors seemed unusual to me, so I thought I would share 
them.

I believe that this is the same female that battles her image in the outside 
mirror of my pickup.  Though I could do without the mess she creates on my 
truck, I did not wish to disturb her habitat.
