Weird Towhees
10,000 Birds
MAY 25, 2022
Towhees are large, ground-hugging sparrows that occur only in North America. They belong to either the Pipilo or Melozone genera, or perhaps both, as their taxonomy is still a point of contention. (Just to complicate things more, four members of the Melozone genus are called Ground-Sparrows rather than Towhees.). Down here in central Mexico, the Canyon Towhee is a constant presence in open areas, including in my garden and around our church.
