Brown Towhee 1. Mayhew 1947 Mar, 1 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif, at 8:40 several of this species were seen to be feeding in company with a flock of Oregon Juncos. The individual Towhees tolerated the Juncos & fed much closer to them than they did other members of their own species. In feeding, they tended to work uphill. They hop about when feeding. After a short time, most of the individuals flew to the tops of the bushes nearby, and remained quiet for some minutes. Occasionally, what were presumed to be mating pairs were seen to be feeding quite close together. June 7 At 8:25 A.M., a single individual was seen sitting on a branch of a madrone just behind Bowles Hall. It was about 20 feet above the ground on the north-east side of the tree. It uttered a single note that sounded like a taip. The note was uttered on the same pitch each time, but it was uttered irregularly.
