RUFOUS-SIDED  TOWHEE

 

Use the Next button above to view other bird images from the camera.  Use the Back button to return to the Live Bird Feeder Cam.


The Towhee was given its name in 1731 by a naturalist who encountered the bird in the Carolinas.  It is an imitation of the bird's call note, a cheerful drink-your-tea.  However, the calls of birds in the West bear little resemblance to those in the East.  Towhees often feed on the ground, scratching around in dry leaves.  Their habitat includes thickets and brushy woodland edges.

They breed from British Columbia east to Maine, and south to California, Louisiana, Florida and Guatemala.  They winter south from southern British Columbia, Nebraska and southern New England.
