NW Humboldt County (Spotted Towhee)

[newtja84]

Last couple of weeks have been active in NW Humboldt County.  Big pushes of Harris's, White-throated and White-crowned Sparrows have given way to neotropicals.  Currently seeing big push of Rose-breasted Grosbeak; as well as a few warblers, Chestnut-sided seems to be the best I've had so far.  A single Indigo Bunting was bopping around in Ottosen.  And I've been hearing Dickcissels out in the country.  

Primary good find was what appears to be a Spotted Towhee found today (5/16), in a private woodlot in NW Humboldt County. Best photo I could get after spending a healthy chunk of an hour to get it to pop up again before it darted off into the shrubbery.
