I love that you caught the blue jays together at the feeder!! And the photo of the woodpecker is gorgeous. And oh yes, I've only seen a towhee once... great catch!

Claudia, these are just great! I'm with LG...takes a long time for the pics to load, but these were worth the wait.
I love the first one of the bunny hiding!
Good going, getting a pic of the towhee. I don't see them often, and have never seen one when I had a camera close by.
Thanks for sharing!
