"The California Towhee's coloring is dull brown overall with light rust undertail coverts and buff or rust colored streaks at the throat. There is little sexual dimorphism. It is around 20–25 cm in length, and has a noticeably long tail. Its appearance suggests a large, plain sparrow." - Wikipedia

Habitat:

On a not so scenic garbage can in scrub at Anstine-Audubon Nature Preserve. It's "native to the coastal regions of western Oregon and California in the United States and Baja California Sur in Mexico." - Wikipedia
