The eastern towhee is a strikingly beautiful bird with its black hood and red eyes. These birds can be found in dense thickets and brushy areas across the eastern United States. Their distinctive call of "drink your tea" makes them easy to identify in the wild, and are ground-dwelling birds that forage for insects, seeds, and berries among the leaf litter. They use their strong legs to scratch around in search of food, often flicking leaves aside with their bill. During breeding season, male eastern towhees perform elaborate courtship displays to attract females. They will sing from prominent perches and fan out their tails while hopping around on the ground. These birds are known for their bold personalities and can be quite territorial, especially during nesting season. Despite this feisty behavior they can also known to form monogamous pairs that stay together year-round. If you're lucky enough to spot an eastern towhee in your backyard or local park, take a moment to appreciate its beauty and unique behaviors. These charismatic birds add a touch of color and excitement to any outdoor space they inhabit.
