| NM_Jane Las Cruces, NM May 8, 2008 | I think this is either a canyon towhee or a green-tailed towhee; but can someone positively ID it for me? Thanks, Jane

| pelletory Marlton, NJ May 8, 2008 | I'll be interested in what Resin says. I believe its a Canyon Towhee. |
| Resin Northumberland (UK) Zone 9a May 8, 2008 | Yep, Canyon Towhee. Too grey for Green-tailed. Resin |
| NM_Jane Las Cruces, NM May 8, 2008 | Thanks Pelle & Resin ... I was leaning more toward canyon; just never saw one with its crest so poofy. |
| Resin Northumberland (UK) Zone 9a May 8, 2008 | Raised crown feathers like that is often a sign of anxiety / alarm in birds - maybe you were close to its nest? Resin |
