These eager, red-eyed birds are large sparrows with black bodies and reddish bellies. They are often mistaken with the Eastern Towhee, and they were actually considered the same species until fairly recently. Their difference, however, primarily comes from the Spotted Towhee’s loud song that can be heard from thick, dense shrubbery where these birds prefer to reside. Read the artice to know in detail.

A strikingly marked, oversized sparrow of the East, feathered in bold black and warm reddish-browns – if you can get a clear look at it. Eastern Towhees are birds of the undergrowth, where their rummaging makes far more noise than you would expect for their size. Their chewink calls let you know how common they are, but many of your sightings end up mere glimpses through tangles of little stems.
