Shout out to all the demon-eyed birds (like my friend, the spotted towhee, here): Your magic is real.

@handmade_ghost We get lots of spotted towhees around here. When they happen to be close, and the sun is out, the eyes do look very red, but I never thought of them being demonic! 🤭

FYI, I'm old, so I still think of them as "rufous-sided towhees" (name has been changed) 😊

@ahimsa_pdx 😁😇 Also "Rufous-sided" makes more sense to me (the spots aren't really spotty to my eye)!
