The California Towhee is common but difficult to photograph well because the bird's coloration doesn't stand out in its environment; as I see it the trick is to make the foreground and background more drab than the bird so the bird will stand out. What do you think? http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/emberizidae/catowh03.html technical stuff: R8/DMR, 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt-R, tripod & blind, a handful of seed. Slight crop, sky in upper left corner filled in with "tree". All comments welcome.
