My Christmas card of a junco in the snow has inspired me to do more snow studies. This is a spotted towhee, formerly known as a rufous-sided towhee. They're fairly common where I live but I still get a thrill when I see one as they're such pretty birds.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Love the ornithology lesson and the painting.
ReplyDeleteI still call them rufus sided towhees. Did they change the name?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure when the name was officially change but it's called a Spotted Towhee in my Third Edition of the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America. I'm sure they changed the name just to confuse us. ;-)
