Rufous the Towhee

30 Comments

Rufous spies  some newly planted grass seeds strewn liberally on  black  soil.

 

“A meal  for  me?” he  wonders.

 

“Nahhhh…. I’m sick of the same old, same old. I’ll wait ’til they feed Crispin his sunflower seeds and invite myself for lunch.”

 

“I’ll leave you a few … if I’m not hungry anymore,” says Crispin.

 

Don’t think I’m not caring,

And I don’t mind sharing,

But Rufous is greedy,

It’s not that he’s needy.

 

It’s lovely to have enough,

Life here is not so rough,

Maybe I’ll leave Rufous

Seeds. Such a doofus.

    I so enjoy and love your critter posts. I amazed at the beautiful photo of Rufous. I have seen a Towhee in my yard a few times, but they always stayed hidden just enough that I could never get a photo of one.

    Cute squirrel family! In my garden shed they are messy and need to learn table manners.

    So cute. Messy eaters like my FIL used to be. Like my cat Perry is.
