During our Sunday morning walk we found a little Ovenbird in Abingdon Square.

I’ve never heard of one of these before, in fact the post title made me think of a Christmas turkey 🙂 It looks very small and very cute 🙂
Funny. The name ovenbird refers to its nest on the ground. “Its nest, a leaf-covered dome resembling an old-fashioned outdoor oven, gives the Ovenbird its name.” (source: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ovenbird/lifehistory). The call is a loud “teacher teacher.”
Small but very beautiful! 🙂
True. Thanks.
How absolutely cute! Is it a singing bird?
Yes. The call song is teacher teacher.
That’s what it sounds like then? I’d love to hear it!
Lots of sites have the sounds. Here is one of the best https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ovenbird/id
What a pretty bird to come across!
Yes indeed
What a cute little bird! Looks like there are possibilities of its enjoying a good feast while to human eyes, there’s not much of interest,
True. I hope the little bird found plenty to fuel up on for the journey to come.

Thanks Linda.
Lovely shots. How rude of your subject to turn tail 🙂
Yes, but it does have pretty white under tail covets.
