While on my wife’s work trip, we stayed 3 days in Shenandoah National Park in Virgina last June, 2025. After a hike, we noticed this bird flying back and forth between 2 areas near our car. So we stayed near it. Took several shots and I was rewarded with this one.

That’s an interesting shot of the Towhee – I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with the feathers on the top of its head standing up like that.
Yes, he was quite the character and very active.
Nicely done!
Thanks sir!
