This morning while listening to a couple of Spotted Towhees singing on
territory at Ridgway State Park, I heard another towhee start singing a
"drink your tea" song, suggesting an Eastern Towhee. I don't know if it
was an Eastern Towhee, a confused Spotted Towhee, or maybe a hybrid because

This is truly incredible. eBird's previous high count for the species in
Colorado was 4, nearly 40 years ago.
