Towee Bunting Audubon Black and Orange Song Birds Tea Towel

This vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 29 from Birds of America showcases a beautifully detailed pair of Towhee Buntings, also known as Rufous-Sided Towhees, perched in a thorny blackberry bush. With their striking orange-red sides, dark wings and head, white underbelly, and tail tipped with white, these birds resemble a more secretive version of the robin. Though common, Towhees are known for their elusive nature, making them harder to spot than many other birds. These birds are often called “Chewink” birds after the unique call that sounds just like their name. Most Towhees sport red eyes, but Florida Towhees are rare with distinct white eyes, making sightings of them especially memorable. Audubon captures their unique beauty and charm, creating a timeless piece that will appeal to bird lovers, art enthusiasts, and those who appreciate nature’s little mysteries.
