July 20th, 2005.
Norwottuck Rail Trail, Amherst, MA.
Eastern Towhee Pipilo erythrophthalmus (juvenile).

Typically found right under a power line cut (close to the 2 mile post on the bike trail). A couple of adults were also close by but this rufous juvenile was slightly more challenging to identify.
Taken using Canon Powershot A-95 through Leica 10x42 binoculars.
