A Tasteful Kernel

Early in the morning, I often hear a Spotted Towhee.   Most of the times he/she prefers to be hidden behind the bushes except yesterday.   Out of the blue sky a male Towhee made a rare appearance on my patio.

"You know what?  Oregon Juncos have told me

there were enough corn kernels here.  This

morning I was just hungry for one."

"It's been a long time since I had a kernel. 

I have to suck on it for a while to appreciate

 the taste."
