Towhee Range Map
California
Towhees are relatively common in brushy habitats
from southern Oregon to Baja California and from
the Pacific inland to the foothills of the
Cascades and the Sierra Nevada. The primary
habitat type is chaparral, followed by riparian
thickets of alder and willow. Human disturbances
have created additional habitat, which is found
along roadsides, clearings, and open lawns.
California Towhees are permanent residents and,
except for the dispersal of juveniles away from
nesting areas, are quite sedentary.
