Eastern towhees primarily eat on the ground, although they also glean from vegetation. When foraging on the ground eastern towhees use a scratching technique where both feet kick back simultaneously. In a laboratory study, 4 eastern towhees used this method to successfully obtain seed buried almost 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep. When foraging above ground the majority of time is spent gleaning foliage.

Love this bird. I’ve seen it in the NJ Pinelands (that was my first sighting) and I’ve seen it in Central Park & Bryant Park in NYC. Beautiful pictures as always!
