This little birdy was hopping around a pile of our hurricane debris this evening, foraging for bugs:
I knew it was some type of warbler or thrush, but I didn’t know it was an ovenbird until a kind person on Twitter identified it for me. Twitter is actually a great place to crowdsource bird identification.
Maybe the world would be a better place had the Twitter platform focused on birdwatching all along — no MAGAts, Nazis, Putin-bots, racist dicks, sexist knobs, etc., just birds. It even fits with the name.
Ovenbirds got their name by constructing domed nests that resemble a Dutch oven. Pretty cool, huh?
