You’ve seen the California Towhee before. But not like this…
Or, maybe you have.
In case you haven’t, though, here is a picture of a Towhee who took advantage of a homemade birdbath in our backyard.

Should I have put out fresh towels?
Special thanks to my yoga friend, Nancy K., for giving Katherine and me the idea of creating a birdbath with just a large bowl of water on a stand.
We’ve seen Crows, Black Phoebes, Bushtits and others avail themselves of the opportunity to cool down and clean up.
