As I was hiking through a wet oak woods, I heard this handsome male Eastern Towhee calling from a low shrub. This large sparrow's song sounds like, "Drink your tea." His crimson eyes give him an intense look. EATOs are a common breeding species in Illinois. They hide in shrubs, hop on the ground, and scratch through leaf litter in search of tasty insects, seeds, berries, and snails.
