Birds: Rufus-sided Towhee
These large sparrows are rather tame and seem fearless of people, often hopping from bush to bush just ahead of friendly hikers, they are identified by their black top sides, white bellies, and rufus (Latin for red) streaks on their flanks. In the female, brown replaces the black.
