Rufus-sided Towhee

The Rufous-sided towhee arrives in mid to late April and leaves in the fall. It is robin-sized, and is often noticed because of the flurry of leaves it causes when it hops in them. This is its way of digging up insects and other small critters. 

In addition to insects, the towhee also enjoys fruits and berries, as well as sunflower seeds and cracked corn.
