And here’s an ovenbird I saw this morning. The little orange cap outlined in black sets it apart from the thrushes. Do these last 3 birds look a lot alike? Well, yes. As a matter of fact last time I checked, one of the pictures on the hermit thrush Wikipedia page was actually an ovenbird. But they do have distinguishing marks. The ovenbird (not a thrush) has this outlined cap. The hermit thrush is dull brown with a spotted breast and reddish tail. The veery has fewer, fainter spots and it is redder all over than the hermit. The wood thrushes which I haven’t seen yet this year, have the spots on the breast and a reddish head. If you get to hear them sing though, that makes it all easier. Their songs are distinct and beautiful except for the ovenbird who just kind of yells. But then ovenbirds are also cute as heck to watch.

Do you have any favorite birds?
Ohhhh man this question is so hard!!!!! I love so many birds that it's hard to pick. Here's a few of the ones I'm always thrilled to see:
Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)
These guys use their spoon-shaped bills to filter-feed on microorganisms in the water! Just like the much-loved species of flamingo, their pink coloration is derived from their diet of crustaceans and other invertebrates!

(via)
Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres)
Much like their name implies, ruddy turnstones turn over rocks along the shores to find invertebrates to feed on! Their breeding plumage is just gorgeous.

Aaaand since I do call myself a passerine ornithologist, I better toss in a songbird lest they come to take my credentials away!
Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla)
My first venture into field research was with these, frankly, huge warblers. They're much larger than the other members of their family (Parulidae) and dwell on the ground far more often than some of their relatives! They get their name from the shape of their nests, which look like little pizza ovens!

Finally it flew a few feet into a fir tree and was on it's own again.

One More Post About My Little Friend the Oven Bird
Look at the Camera Along with some interesting new birds that I’ve been seeing lately, I have also been seeing some of my old favorites including Momma and Poppa , the Carolina wrens, and my little oven bird (Seiurus aurocapilla). I know that any day now she will probably begin her migration back north for the breeding season, so I’ve been taking photos of her every chance I get. She’s still not…

Goddamn Ovenbird Haha, no, it really is called an “ovenbird”. The ovenbird is widespread across much of the Mid-Atlantic US through northeastern British Columbia, and if you’re looking for one, your best bet is in deciduous forests, where the males will be busy trying to irritate the fuck out of everyone with their loud, relentlessly repetitive calls of “Tea-CHER, TEA-CHER, TEA-CHER, TEA-CHER!!”
They are well camouflaged, and look kind of like a very drab kinglet.  Keep an eye out for them on the forest floor; you will recognize their stupid walk, which is like tiny neckless chickens.
Also, I don’t know why anyone would call this an “ovenbird” – weighing around 20 grams on average, they’re much too small to be worth eating.
