Canyon Towhee

This is a Canyon Towhee.  DesertDale took it when we went to the Bed & Breakfast, close to Sierra
 Vista.

 They scurrying on the ground from bush  to bush.  They peck for the  seeds and insects on the ground. The males perch on short shrubs or cacti to sing in the  breeding season.
You will find them in the desert grasslands, rocky terrain, and dry , scrubby areas.  They stay away from neighborhoods.  They favor the remote areas.


This is a female the Vermilion Flycatcher .  That was close by.
