Otherwise know as Spotted Towhee. I have spied a new type of bird at my feeder the last 2 days! As most of my summer birds have flown south for the winter, I was delighted to see something of a different variety, and quite a pretty little bird to boot! They are mainly ground birds, both for foraging for food and nest building. Before winter, they move to higher elevations, so I suppose that is why I am just now spotting them.
