I am always happy to get the opportunity to capture a spotted towhee (especially the male with its nifty eyes).
Cropping?
Z9, Nikon 200-500 lens, monopod, 1/1600th, f 8.0, 750mm, ISO 5000, cropped to 3195 x 2401, Topaz Photo AI
Gorgeous image, Dave. I feel like I’m right there in living color… 
Nice one, Dave. I’ve had a couple of Towhee’s this fall but have not been able to get a photo. The bird is nice and sharp and the BG is good. Concerning the crop, the bird probably has more space to look into than he needs, but it is not detrimental, in my opinion.
