I've only seen an ovenbird once, foraging, and I didn't get a pic. These are great!<br /><br />And I didn't know about the night song either.

I had the impression they were much bigger, but seeing one in hand made me appreciate how dinky they are.<br /><br />The bander had me touch the soft feathers of its belly. He told me Ovenbirds are the softest birds he handles.<br /><br />Don't know anything about their night songs, tho.<br /><br />Your photos are better than the ones I got.<br /><br />~Kathi, VW word is "hungrai" as in "I am very hungrai after driving 5.5 hrs from Magee Marsh today."Kathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186814675058675885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-90042202316236529082009-05-18T18:14:00.000-05:002009-05-18T18:14:00.000-05:00Your query about the night-time song of the ovenbi...Your query about the night-time song of the ovenbird gave me that strange feeling I get when I think I might've written about something.

I was reminded of naturalist John Burroughs' wonderful story about this mystical phenomenon:<br /><br />http://moosehilljournal.blogspot.com/2007/05/from-undisclosed-location.html<br /><br />In her comment on my post, Julie Zickefoose so generously explained what I was hearing.MojoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283343683800473324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18784445.post-10525230754533672082009-05-18T08:43:00.000-05:002009-05-18T08:43:00.000-05:00All I know is that one scared the crap out of me o...All I know is that one scared the crap out of me one night, and Keith said it was an ovenbird. (Why are we taking his word for it?)
