The Spotted Towhees are not uncommon along the western border during both spring and fall migration, but are not found during the summer. I would not be surprised if we find a nesting pair, which would be a first for the state, sometime in this area. Please, keep me posted on sightings of Spotted Towhees for possible inclusion in the Breeding Bird Atlas.
