Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus)

While at Highrock Park in Esquimalt yesterday I was pleased to see this Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus). These birds are easier to see at this time of year before the leaves have come out because they like to hop around in the undergrowth. In the summer they always seem to be hiding behind some leaves.
