There are so many really cool little warblers that most people never really see as they stay to tree tops or blend in so well. Ovenbirds spend alot of time on the ground but blend in very well and often they are heard more than seen in woodlands. I came across one the other day that gave me my first real good shots of them.

These birds breed in the northern half of the USA up to Canada and over winter in Florida to the Carribean area. One of our more stable warbler species population wise. You can hear its songs here...https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Ovenbird/sounds

Cool little guy Al and I really like the third photo with the awesome background. Shooting the tiny guys is always a challenge for me. First is getting them in the open and next is getting the focus before they move. lol.

LMAO, well in their defense, they are named after their nests which resemble and old style pizza oven.

Little birds are definitely challenging Pat. They just rarely sit still and when they do its usually poor light, too many things in the way.
