Eastern Towhee.
Heard a Barred Owl this early morning out my bedroom window. It uttered a single, descending hoot nearby, like the end of its usual call. After a minute, the hoot came softly, as the owl moved away.
Later, upon awakening, I waited for a lull in the rain, then hiked the hill with Jack—where we encountered towhees in the rain.
