We've had them several times on Christmas counts in Loudoun and Prince
William counties. They are fairly hardy and can manage in what passes for
winter up here.

Is it early for towhees? Who knows! My old National Geographic (2002) and my new Peterson (2010) shows them as year-round Virginia residents (I assume in the right habitats); Sibley (2000 and 2003) splits the state, showing them year-round in eastern Virginia.

Heard the lovely "drink your tea" song in the MOCA (Museum of Contemp. Art) parking lot, VA Beach, this a.m. and found my first towhee singing from the top of a tree.
Is this early for this area?
