Birding along the lakefront in Milwaukee this morning one of the highlights was a FOY Eastern Towhee, male at Lake Park. It was a pretty gloomy day and cool. Other birds to note, a lot of Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets and still a few Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. Images were taken on April 13, 2017.

Beautiful bird Jim. Always love to here them kicking up the leaves to find food. I leaves piles of maple leaves scattered around to give them some fun and food. Happy Spring to all the birds and all the watchers too:)
