‘Chewink’

This Eastern Towhee was in a tree about 5 feet from where I was standing .. and I about walked by. I think he is a young Towhee, but he sure was a brave one.

I like this little clip from wikipedia:

The song is a short drink your teeeeea lasting around one second, starting with a sharp call ("drink!") and ending with a short trill "teeeeea". The name "towhee" is onomatopoeic description of one of the towhee's most common calls, a short two-part call rising in pitch and sometimes also called a "chewink" call. (wikipedia)

I love this bird for its bravery.
