Spotted Towhee in west Centennial, Arapahoe County (Denver Metro Area)

[KevyG...@aol.com]

Hello Fellow Birders,

 

   I was chatting on the phone ~ 7pm last night (Friday, May 6), when I heard that distinctive "Drink, Drink, Drink your tea-ea-ea-ea" song.  I heard it a couple of times before it registered that I was hearing a towhee in my little townhouse yard near Holly & Arapahoe in west Centennial.  An hour or so later I also heard it call, then sing some more. Never did see it.

 

   I have occasionally seen a towhee in my yard in the winter months, and had one here pretty regularly the past winter.  I suspect this is that same bird, apparently it lost its map and doesn't know the way back to the foothills.

 

Keep Smilin',
