Hard to get these guys out of the low bushes and on a better perch!

I agree, I only seem to find them on the ground rooting through a pile of leaf debris!
The light was pretty soft, off to the left a bit. I might try increasing the exposure overall just a bit, perhaps .25, and perhaps do some selective curves work in the darker areas.
The head is a little soft, to my eye, and perhaps a bit more sharpening will bring it up a notch.
If mine, I might do a bit more cropping, in most from the left, and a small amount from top and right.
Good job getting him off the ground!
Cheers

Marvelous image in it's habitat.
A towhee! No, they're not easy to shoot, as common as they are. Nice work rising to a fairly rare occasion. I echo Randy. I'd brighten her up a bit, sharpen, and adjust the crop.
