Our Eastern Towhee Returns... Finally

   Each year around March 10, we get a Male Towhee migrate through our yard. For the last 10 years this has been a reliable signpost of Spring but this year he was 2 weeks late. I'm not saying that means much... I'm just sayin'. It has been an extended Winter and we've only had a couple semi-nice days so far this Spring here in central Ohio. I don't blame him for not wanted to come as early this year. I'd have like to have been hangin' out where he was. He has stayed much longer than I've ever seen one stay. Usually it's a one day visit and a sighting on the next day is pretty unusual. The temperature is just starting to warm up so we will see if he can extend his record length visit to 10 days.
