🌎 Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus) The Eastern Towhee, also known as Chewink or Joree, is a large New World sparrow. Males have black heads, backs, and tails with rusty-orange sides and a white belly; females are similar but brown where males are black. They have distinctive red or white eyes. They are widely distributed across eastern North America, inhabiting brushy areas, forest edges, and thickets. Northern populations migrate south for winter, while southern ones may be year-round residents. Eastern Towhees are primarily ground foragers, using a characteristic two-footed backward scratch to uncover insects and seeds in leaf litter. They are often heard before seen, with a "drink-your-tea" song and a "chewink" call. Males are territorial and monogamous during breeding. 2.5 Flash (Edited) Four subspecies are recognised.
