Subject: Towhee post
The male Eastern Towhee that has been at my feeders in Ottertail
since November has made it to the new year. Unfortunately our CBC
was cancelled so he won't get counted. It was good to see him
appear this morning regardless. It seems that he spends the night
under the deck. At first he associated with a long departed Fox
Sparrow, but now is part the usual crowd at the feeders. Over the
last week it has been interesting to note a change in feeding
habits. Instead of only eating millet from the ground, the towhee
has taken to sunflower seeds out of the feeder and rather
aggressively defends his space. All in all it has been a good
opportunity to watch a most beautiful bird at the wrong time of the
year.
