[EBB Sightings] A very strange California Towhee

Hi Phila,

If I remember right you live not too far from me.  I believe the same
California Towhee has been visiting my feeder for the last month or so.  It
fits your description.  I don't see it every day, so it must travel around.
It sure knows where the feeders are!
