Three different male Eastern Towhees can be heard calling Drink Your Tea to define and defend their territories during the spring mating season. The fine looking fellow in this video has staked out the Backyard in the Great Smoky Mountains as his territory and you can distinctly hear two other male towhees calling Drink Your Teaaaa in the distance defining their territories. They feed much like Robins by scratching at leaf debris on the ground for bugs but will readily take see on the ground. • The eastern towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus) is a large New World sparrow. The taxonomy of the towhees has been under debate in recent decades, and formerly this bird and the spotted towhee were considered a single species, the rufous-sided towhee. • The song is a short drink your teeeeea lasting around one second, starting with a sharp call ( drink! ) and ending with a short trill teeeeea . The name towhee is onomatopoeic description of one of the towhee's most common calls, a short two-part call rising in pitch and sometimes also called a chewink call. • New HD videos uploaded frequently.
