Late this morning I got a male Spotted Towhee singing and perching in the open at the southwest corner of Buffalo River State Park in Clay County. It's along the main hiking trail if you go southwest of the swimming beach/picnic area, cross the bridge south over the river, and then proceed east to the first clearing. I'm assuming that this is the same bird that showed up about this time last year. I hike this trail a lot (last hiked a week ago) and I hadn't detected this bird until today. Just a warning, the mosquitoes are very bad along the trail.
