[mou] E. Towhee: Dodge Co.

[Ken or Rebecca Vail]

The mystery bird previously reported as a probable aberrant plumaged juvenile Eastern Towhee may not be so "aberrant" after all.  I did a little more searching on the internet and found this photo (link below) on the Smithsonian website.  It is unfortunate that none of my field guides indicated the extensive white on the tail that this bird shows.  The good news is that I have a new yard bird.
