Just filled my feeders on Sunday, major feasting since then.
Today's reward was a female eastern towhee - that's yard bird #95.
Location is middle of Toronto, near Mt. Pleasant Cem.

The former species Rufous-sided Towhee has been split into two species, Eastern Towhee and Spotted Towhee, which occurs in the west.
