IbisFla said:Ann, I can definitely see the similarities. I'm sure there was an Eastern Towhee adult nearby, so this most likely is the baby. Wow - I love seeing new birds at my feeders Thanks again, Ann!!
You're welcome! The key points in this case besides the beak are the white on that wing & the white along the outer edge of the tail as well as the white tip on corner of tail.
