While looking at my first towhee of the year scuff away deep in leaf
litter. I believe it is a Spotted Towhee. I saw it briefly in flight
and saw a lot of white on its mantle. I also saw the same bird in
another birder's camera screen. It didn't show as much white as I
thought I saw but it lacked white at base of folded primaries. This was
around 11:30 am today in the regenerating woodland beside the sports
field at Col Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke. Exit QEW south at Kipling and
continue to final parking lot at end of Kipling on Humber College
campus. Walk north and east to woodlot. Coordinates from Google Map
