Interesting. I've had a female Towhee with virtually no spots all winter
long. I have good photos of this one. I've researched it a little bit and
it appears that Eastern towhees although they have no spots have a squarish
white patch on the folded weight. A little bit like a black throated Blue
Warbler. This one does not have that patch. Now hybrids between Eastern and
Spotted towhees are also known. Is yours a male or a female? I've been
wondering about the identity of this one as well. Bob O'Brien Portland
