Fun With An Ovenbird

I think a pair of ovenbirds might be nesting in Mr. Neil's woods. I was on the trail looking for flowers that our bees might be pollinating and nectaring from when some scuffling startled me. I saw a brown bird run and flit away into some low trees. I waited to see if would come back.

Eventually, a pair of ovenbirds started hopping about and singing! I even got a video--do you guys hear the "teacher teacher teacher":

Hey Sharon! I thought of you yesterday because we were at the Landscape Arboretum and my husband happened to spy a little green hummingbird. I did capture a couple of photos when it rested. It was awesome! And so tiny.

For every 25 ovenbirds that I hear . . . I am lucky to see one!

I heard an ovenbird last week in the woods too--it was about 6 feet away from me, but I couldn't spot that LBB!
