Spotted Towhee
Pipilo maculatus
Spotted Towhees inhabit brushy woodland edges, thickets, and overgrown gardens across western North America. They spend much of their time on the ground, kicking backward through leaf litter to uncover insects, seeds, and berries. Adults give sharp calls from low perches, and males are especially recognizable by their bold black, white, and rufous plumage.
