Observation details
Red dot, intriguing male towhee apparently continuing at (30.5755852, -96.3632059). Very skulky and difficult to pin down, but seen briefly several times as he moved around in this area. Overall like Eastern, with white patch at base of primaries, but with small white spots on scapulars like Spotted. Calling frequently, alternating between Eastern and Spotted calls. Didn’t really seem to respond to playback of either species. Makes me wonder about the identity of other towhees calling (but not seen) in this vicinity. Photos and recording
