Female Eastern Towhee
Pipilo erythrophthalmus
35.7267, -78.7665
Field Notes
Description:
An oversized sparrow of the east with attractive markings.
Habitat:
Eastern Towhees are well-known birds of the undergrowth. Their rummaging through the leaves makes more noise than one would expect from their size.
Notes:
Their "chewink" or "drink your tea" call informs you on how common they are, but many of your sightings of them end up as glimpses through tangles of stems.
