An Eastern Towhee called loudly to me as I walked by him no more than 
four feet away in a garden rosebush this morning; he continued while I 
paused to enjoy his return in bright Spring colors.  A Phoebe sang above 
and Juncos trilled below.  A Turkey Vulture low over the trees was being 
hassled by a crow who had a couple of Red-winged Blackbirds after it.
