It happend again. Last summer I shared a story about an encounter I had with a Eastern Towhee. I shared how one flew very close to my head (A Fly By). While hiking this past Sunday, I experinced this again.
We saw this Towhee in a nearby tree, but he was not in a good place for a photo. I remember this even from last year, so I pulled out my phone and played a call that was like the one he was making. It only took minutes before he came to check me out.
He flew from one side of the trail to the other .. back an forth a few times. I was concerned that I was creating some stress, so after a couple of photos we moved on.
As we approached the parking area, I could stil her him following us. I decided to play the call one last time. He pearcherd near me for one last photo.
What a cool bird, but a little territorial. Peace my friend.
