I was just at home for lunch when I looked out the kitchen window and saw a
Green-tailed Towhee feeding on the ground with female cardinals and
white-throated sparrows. The bird was intermediate in size between the two.
It was a first year bird. Gray body and back with olive wings and tail,
bright rufous cap, white throat and malar separated by gray. The bird was
8-10 feet away in a landscaped area next to the deck under an elevated
platform feeder. By the time I went and got binoculars and moved outside
for another look I could not relocate it. I will keep trying to relocate it
and photograph it as well. Anyone is welcome to come to the house and try to
find it. I can be reached at 812-987-6503 for directions.
