(Pipilo erythrophthalmus)
After going on and on about my new towhee t-shirt yesterday, I realized I had a few Eastern Towhee photos that I could share, so here are some. There's really no mistaking this bird with is three distinctive colours. Its 'drink you tea' song is rather distinctive also. And what about that name 'towhee'? The name is echoic of one of its calls, and as far back as the 1700s listeners picked up on the imitative call of the bird.
Please comment if you wish.
