Common in backyards and parks. Often in pairs. Orangey under the tail and a bit on the chin, and otherwise the plainest, most bird-shaped bird I ever did see. Call a single piercing "chip!" that sounds like a smoke detector low battery, or string of chip-chip-chipchips: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/california_towhee/id
