Woke up this morning to see the two Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks on the
ground under the feeder plus 10 to 12 White-Crowned Sparrows and an
odd-looking Grosbeak-sized bird with them that my as yet uncaffeinated
brain finally recognized as a female Towhee a split second before the
whole bunch flushed.
I've not had a Towhee here in the 10 years I've been here and haven't
laid eyes on one anywhere else in that time, so I was a bit slow on the
uptake, and pre-coffee, I might have been hallucinating. Haven't caught
sight of it since then so far.
