Just this week I spotted a male and a female Eastern Towhee. They sing the most beautiful song esp. first thing in the morning. They are definitely a welcome addition to my yard here in Massachusetts.

This Bird has Driven me Crazy since we first moved to this area. I could hear its call but could never get a glimpse of it. VERY Frustrating! It would hide in the leaves of the Oak trees around our house! I finally saw it perched on my feeder wire strung between two oak trees! Then I had to look it up in my Bird Book. Haven't heard it yet this year!

I look forward to the Towee visiting my feeding station each day during the spring and summer. They are both beatiful and peaceful, I have never seen them cause any trouble with the other birds and I have several hundreds at my feeders. They mostly scratch around on the ground for insects and lost seed. They use both legs to scratch with, almost looks like they are jumping backwards.
