A Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus) sings from a narrow Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis) branch at Pacific Spirit Park in Vancouver, BC. Towhees are often found foraging in thick underbrush, commonly on the ground. They tend to dig through the soil, looking for subterranean invertebrates to eat. These birds are very adept at silently moving through dense tickets, and can quickly disappear under the cover when they are startled.
