Like it's spelled. "Tow" as in tow-truck, "he" as in "He said to do this." Or you can call this animal Chewink; you might want to pronounce it Chew-Ink, but I wouldn't. The name has to do with the bird's call: who'd have thought it! A more natural rendering might be 2E, or Chwink. It's not a 500 pound canary with a trailer hitch, it's a ground sparrow.

The "chewink" is the rufus sided towhee's call, the bird's song is three syllabled, and sounds like "drink your tea".
