The Rufous-Sided Towhee is a striking bird found in Pennsylvania, characterized by its unique red markings on the sides of its body, while its neck, head, and back are black in males. This warm-blooded vertebrate uses its specialized beak to forage for seeds and insects, adapting well to its environment. Its feathers provide insulation in winter and aid in flight. Notably, the female lays 3-4 creamy white eggs with brown spots, nurturing them for 12-13 days. An interesting behavior includes its backward hopping to unearth food, along with its charming song "Drink-Your-Tea."
