Hello again! Our next puzzler is a bird that I see just about daily in my forested yard in western NC. Sometimes I hear it before I see it, as both the males and females spend a lot of time on the ground, digging through the leaves looking for insects to eat. They make a lot of noise as they’re doing this! They also spend a lot of time singing–their song says ‘drink your teeeaaaaaa,’ and they repeat this a lot. Sound familiar?
Here are a few photos. See if you recognize this bird:

Have a fabulous weekend! I’ll see you again soon.
It is a towhee?
Rosalyn, it is! Another one right. Thanks for reading and taking the time to reply.
It is! Thanks for guessing and for following along.
Based on his song alone you might guess that he originated in the UK
Ha, you are funny.
I first knew it as a Rufous Sided Towee. But now i think it’s just called an Eastern Towee.❤️
Jo Ann, You’re right, they’ve changed the name. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all of those name changes! But thanks for reminding me.
