Spotted Towhee

We went to Tecolote Canyon this morning from 7:30am to 9am. Saw lots of birds on bushes but hard to identify. They were too active.

But we did identify a new bird - spotted towhee.

This bird is pretty easy to identify because the expensive white in wings and scapulars; and black primary bases on head, neck and tail.

Behind the black top is bright rusty sides and white chest.
