Spotted Towhee

 
The boys and I went for our first hike of the season. We met a new friend Connor (5) and they all did a four mile hike without breaking a sweat.

This bird is called a Spotted Towhee. At first, I thought it was a woodpecker, then I thought it was a robin. With all the twigs it was hard to see. Eventually I got it on camera and realized it was something else entirely. A park ranger identified it for me.
