We see the Rufous-Sided Towhee in early spring and it is common for their nests to be found in or under a large spruce tree in front of our house. They get their name from the rufous (reddish-brown) plumage on their sides and "towee" which is an imitation of their call. Their tales are quite long and they are further characterized by white spots on their back and tail. They range from 7" to 8" in length.
