I think...

...this bird is an Eastern Towhee, but it could possibly be an American Redstart. There are similarities. If any of you blippers know which it is, please tell me.

Today was a sizzling hot day with the high temperature somewhere around 93 degrees. I waited until the sun was low in the sky this evening before I went to the park, but even so, I was dripping hot. It is supposed to cool down over the next few days. We never really had spring and went right from 50-60 degree days to 80-90+ days. Ergh!
