8:30 am 'Chick-Burr'

This morning I saw an ovenbird while having my coffee. Looks like a smaller version of a thrush with fewer markings on the breast. Couldn't see orange mark on the head. She jumped on a branch to check me out, then returned to the forest floor to go about her business.

Checked Peterson's and verified as Eastern Phoee from last night by the creek. No wing bars seals the deal. Also was reminded that 'chick-burr' is the call of the Scarlet Tanager. I'll be going home today to take care of things. Should be back on Wednesday.
