Ovenbirds are 14 cm long and weigh 18 g. They have white underparts
streaked with black, and olive-brown upperparts. They have white
eye rings, pinkish legs and thin pointed bills. They have orange
lines on the top of their crowns, which are bordered on each side
with dark brown. The song of the Ovenbird is a loud
teacher-teacher-teacher. Ovenbirds forage on the ground in dead
leaves, sometimes hovering or catching insects in flight. This bird
frequently tilts its tail up while walking. These birds mainly eat
insects, spiders and snails, and also include fruit in their diet
during winter. The nest, referred to as the "oven" (which gives the
bird its name), is a domed structure placed on the ground, woven
from vegetation, and containing a side entrance. Both parents feed
the young birds. I always hear the loud and easily recognizable
call of this bird in my backyard. The cache is placed just off the
Hall Mountain Trail Parking lot. Congrats to The Tau'ri for
FTF!
