This morning 01/09/09 at 9:35 am I saw and photographed the Green-tailed Towhee which has been present in Collingswood NJ. Future updates of this bird should be reported to NJ Birds or the Delaware Valley RBA. 



Camden County NJ: 
A GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE has been visiting a backyard feeder at 1147 
Mansion Ave, Collingswood, NJ 08108, which is off of Cuthbert Blvd. 
The GREEN-TAILED TOWHEE was found there on Jan 1, and has been seen 
as recently as Jan 9.  Homeowners, John and Peggy McDevit, welcome 
birders to come and see the TOWHEE, and request that birders knock 
on the door, upon arrival.  If there is no answer, you can proceed 
softly and quietly along the driveway to view the backyard feeders. 
The TOWHEE has also been feeding under shrubs on the left side of 
the yard.  Thank-you John and Peggy for your hospitality and 
generosity.
