Last evening at about 6:30 I had a rufous-sided towhee, a veery and a fox sparrow all at the same time and within close proximity of each other, feeding on the ground in my backyard under a feeder and below some bushes. My yard backs onto Pringle Creek in Whitby. The rufous sided towhee is actively feeding still this a.m. in the rain.
Two days ago, a female rose-breasted grosbeak was present at a feeder in my yard as well and seems to be still appearing on occasion.
