Hi Jim;
What an interesting comparison of Bewick's wren and the Towhee Jim.  I can =
pick out the Towhee by its introductory double note which seems to say" Tow=
heeeee".   Our Spotted Towhee on the West Coast are not a problem but I do =
get confused with a Song Sparrow especially at a distance. The Song Sparrow=
s have been singing since Christmas but the Bewick's Wren only started two =
or three weeks ago. Close up the Bewick's only has one introductory note wh=
ereas the Song Sparrow has two or three and ends with a more complex sound.
Good Birding
John Neville
