Description
An Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillis), a Wood Warbler, is foraging on the ground under low brushes at Estero Llano Grande State Park near Weslaco, Texas.
In shady woods, this odd warbler walks with deliberate steps on the forest floor, holding its short tail cocked up higher than its back. Although it is not especially shy, its choice of habitat often makes it hard to observe; its ringing chant of teacher, teacher is heard far more often than the bird is seen. The name 'Ovenbird' is a reference to the bird's nest, a domed structure with the entrance on the side, like an old-fashioned oven.
