Rufous-sided Towhee

Southern Vancouver Island

Towhee facts: Towhees are primarily seed and berry eaters although, if they find them on the ground, insects are also devoured heartily. They are also called chewinks, for their call, and ground robins, because like robins they are ground feeders—often detected by the rustling noise they make searching through dry underbrush for food. ~ encyclopedia.com
