After viewing the Livonia MI towhee pics and reading the accounts in
Rising's Sparrows and Kaufman's Lives of NA Birds   I am questioning whether
this bird is a first year bird or not. The IN bird has a very well defined
rufous cap and the throat and malar area are also well defined very much
unlike the MI bird. Last night I also observed more green in the nape than I
had previously seen. Any input or discussion on this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
