Two Abert’s Towhees In A Desert Willow — Image by kenne
Abert’s towhee, native to a small range in southwestern North America, generally the lower Colorado River and Gila River watersheds, is nearly endemic to Arizona but also present in small parts of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, and Sonora in Mexico. The name of this bird commemorates the American ornithologist James William Abert (1820–1897). — Wikipedia
