Spotted Towhee

This beauty is also a winter visitor to Texas.  It is common to the West and Northwest US in the winter months.  It mainly forages on the ground and I had a real hard time trying to capture an image as it was very energetic, hopping from bush to bush and log to log.  It finally stood still for a second or two to allow me to get this shot.  This is my first sighting of a Towhee in central Texas.
