The Spotted Towhee is a bird species native to North America. It is a member of the sparrow family and is known for its distinctive black and white spotted plumage. The male has a black head, back, and tail, with white spots on its wings and back, while the female has a brownish-gray head and back with the same white spots. They are commonly found in brushy areas, woodlands, and suburban gardens.
This bird was curious after I recorded and played back its song on my phone. It is a great way to get this bird to come out of the bushes where it usually is hiding.
