Pipilo erythrophthalmus
Eastern Towhees nest on or near the ground. They spend most of their time on the ground, scratching at leaves using both of their feet at the same time - in a really cute kind of backwards hop. This one appeared to be considering make a nest under this rhododendron bush. Hopefully it chooses a safer spot because this yard has daily fox, opossum, and cat visitors.
Spotted in a rural, woodsy backyard habitat.
