About These Birds
Bermuda Towhee
The Bermuda Towhee was an extinct towhee species that was endemic to Bermuda. Known from subfossil bones found in cave and marsh deposits, it was likely a ground-dwelling bird that fed on seeds and insects in the island's original cedar and palmetto forests. It became extinct soon after the islands were first colonized in the early 17th century.
