January 18, 2024 - Pearled Treerunner (Margarornis squamiger) Found in the Andes in parts of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and possibly Argentina, these birds in the ovenbird family live in mountain forests. They eat arthropods, picking them from moss and other surfaces, foraging alone, in pairs, or in small flocks, often with other species. Likely monogamous, they build ball-shaped nests with side entrances from moss under tree limbs or rocks.

Genus: Seiurus

Ovenbird (monotypic) by Rhododendrites

What! A! Bird! During banding I refer to these as "thrush warblers", for fairly obvious reasons: round and dappled. The etymology of their genus comes from Seio 'to shake' and oura 'tail', referring to their habit of bobbing their tail as they forage. These warblers prefer to forage on the ground, which is also where they nest! This oddly shaped nest is what gives them their common name, though to save some confusion, they aren't at all related to the South American family of ovenbirds.

Ovenbird on nest (Asher Higgins)

Ovenbirds are often better known by their song, a bouncing and rising "Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!" that echoes around the woodlands they call home. Sometimes their density can be so overwhelming in the breeding season that my past coworkers have reported having trouble hearing any other birds in the area.

And here’s an ovenbird I saw this morning. The little orange cap outlined in black sets it apart from the thrushes. Do these last 3 birds look a lot alike? Well, yes. As a matter of fact last time I checked, one of the pictures on the hermit thrush Wikipedia page was actually an ovenbird. But they do have distinguishing marks. The ovenbird (not a thrush) has this outlined cap. The hermit thrush is dull brown with a spotted breast and reddish tail. The veery has fewer, fainter spots and it is redder all over than the hermit. The wood thrushes which I haven’t seen yet this year, have the spots on the breast and a reddish head. If you get to hear them sing though, that makes it all easier. Their songs are distinct and beautiful except for the ovenbird who just kind of yells. But then ovenbirds are also cute as heck to watch.

April 6, 2024 - Cordoba Cinclodes, Comechingones Cinclodes, or Chestnut-winged Cinclodes (Cinclodes comechingonus) Found in open grassy habitats in central Argentina, these birds in the ovenbird family migrate north or to lower elevations outside of the breeding season. Usually foraging in pairs on the ground, they eat insects, mollusks, and seeds, picking their prey from surfaces. They build their nests at the ends of tunnels dug into banks or in rock crevices from grasses, hair, and leaves. Females lay clutches of two eggs.
