At Our Bird Feeder;
My wife asked if an Oriole would still be around, there this morning at brunch she said there it is again, turns out to be an Rufous Sided Towhee, very colourful pretty bird.
He [male has been back a few times today , and I just watched him for the last 10 to 12 minutes at the feeder.
Cornell University has since 1995 renaimed them Eastern Towhee.

[COLOR=#333333]A strikingly marked, oversized sparrow of the East, feathered in bold black and warm reddish-browns – if you can get a clear look at it. Eastern Towhees are birds of the undergrowth, where their rummaging makes far more noise than you would expect for their size. Their chewink calls let you know how common they are, but many of your sightings end up mere glimpses through tangles of little stems.
