How to spot
Look for its black (male) or brown (female) head, back, and wings, white belly, and rufous flanks. It often forages on the ground with a characteristic two-footed scratch. Listen for its loud calls and song.
When to spot
Resident year-round in much of its southern range, migratory in the north. Active throughout the day, often scratching in leaf litter on the ground.

Its distinctive call, a loud 'chewink,' and its song, often interpreted as 'drink your tea,' are iconic sounds of eastern North American woodlands and shrublands.
