Eastern Towhee
January 28th
This morning Mike and I saw an Eastern Towhee at the Windows on Wildlife at Wildwood Metropark. A towhee is a member of the sparrow family and will sometimes eat seed on the ground under feeders if the habitat is right. The Eastern Towhee is more common in our area in the Spring and Summer months and can often be heard singing its distinctive song that sounds like “drink your teeeea”. There are other members of the towhee family found in the western United States including Spotted, Green-tailed, Canyon, California and Abert’s Towhee. I think the Eastern Towhee is a very handsome bird. Mike also took a nice photo of a Blue Jay. (1 new species, total 115)
