Today, I went with my Mom and my Uncle Eddie to see a Spotted Towhee that was seen on a farm in nearby Ogle County, Illinois. When we got there we met the owners who were super nice. They are nature lovers and had lots of neat deer photos to show us.

We immediately saw the Spotted Towhee inside of a barn. He bounced around on the hay bales and flew around the rafters. He looked healthy and happy.
Eddie took a lot of photos, but I did not take any this time. It was exciting to see a new bird in the middle of January, and this is my second lifer this year! My other lifer was a Thayer’s Gull.
