Towhee attacking solitaire!

[Paula Hansley]

I’ve been wondering why I haven't seen “my”Townsend’s Solitaire drinking from my heated birdbath at sunrise in the last few days. I’ve heard it singing at sunrise. This morning I found out.  One of my Spotted Towhees was chasing the solitaire around my backyard, which has a juniper tree. 

 Could this be a territorial dispute?

I've similarly had one (or another) Solitaire visiting my backyard birdbath, and have been surprised a half-dozen times this winter at singles or pairs of juncos chasing it away.
