Usually at my house, I see the California Towhee, Pipilio crissalis. They love to come right up to the slider where the cats live and tempt fate. Koko chases them but they persist. They like the worms around the compost container I think, but also peck around on the asphalt if I spill some seed while refilling the feeders.
This Spotted Towhee was in a huge thicket of blackberries that was also sheltering a huge flock of doves. The doves over on the land are numerous, but dang if I can capture them. I know where they are and still haven't had any luck. I am pretty sure that they are Mourning Doves.
I don't know if the blackberrys are native or not...but I know where to find the answer when next I go over.
