I went on an impromptu trip to Patuxent NWR with the AABC, and we had a so-so morning. We saw a few good birds, but the light was lousy and the birds elusive. The Ovenbird is my best such bird to date.
We only got a brief look at the American Redstart (Female), and it’s not much of an image, but they are lovely birds.
I don’t have an exact ID for this Flycatcher yet.
This Ovenbird was very responsive to my Ibird song.
Cornell:
“The Ovenbird gets its name from its covered nest. The dome and side entrance make it resemble a Dutch oven.”
Not a bad shot of this Black and White Warbler, given the lousy light.
