I haven't shot down at my lower blinds for more than a year until a couple of days ago, when I caught this Spotted Towhee. These guys are really tough to catch up on a perch when they rarely sit still or are there for very long.

nice image Tim. I know you feel like you get bored when you have something for so long and could potentially use it every day, but the images you get at your blind are awesome. You should definitely use it more :)

sweet image Tim.. I just returned back to NY from a cross Canadian Rockies Trip.. I ended in Vancouver and grabbed many perches that look just like this.. Man the Pacific NW really has some sweet perches compared to here in the East..
