Hi Tweeters,

A new bird showed up in our yard October 10, 11...then I went out of town
for two weeks. Latest sighting was the 29th of Oct.

He's dark brown on back and heavily streaked on the underside and he's
"Towhee" size. He is feeding on the ground and is showing aggressive
behavior in chasing off the juncos and white crowned sparrows. The closest
ID in our Peterson guide is the Wood Thrush that is listed as an accidental
in the western states.

Anyone else see this bird, or know of similar sightings in Washington?
