Towhees definitely are year-round residents at Long Branch Nature Center in
Arlington. And I too am a big fan of these charismatic birds. Cheers, Steve

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?
