Re: [nysbirds-l] Spotted Towhee (February 12)
Towhee at park at paved path at bend where bird seed is scattered. Seen twice in half hour period. Five fox sparrows white throats and two pairs of feuding cardinals at the spot. The paved path is near soccer fields. We approached it from the main road at a stop sign and crosswalk. Another gentleman parked in the soccer field parking lot. More slushy snow to walk through if you park in the soccer field. Thanks all.
