But thanks to her generous spirit, this little bird&#8217;s unbashful ways, and a break in my schedule, I was able to endure about 20 minutes of mosquito attacks to get my first look at this warbler&#8230; and get some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.backyardbirdcam.com\/gallery\/ovenbird.htm\">photos<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also learned a little more about this bird: It is named for the oven-shaped nest, with a side opening, that it builds on the forest floor. It&#8217;s about 5.75&#8243; long and, along with many other warblers, is traveling through Oklahoma on it&#8217;s fall migration. While most other warblers are found in trees foraging for insects, the Ovenbird does most of its foraging on the ground. And that&#8217;s where it has been&#8230; under the deer feeder in Terri&#8217;s wooded yard.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always excited to see a new bird and happy to come away from the experience with a few photos!<\/p>\n<p>Happy birding,<\/p>\n<p>Pat Velte<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Bird envy&#8221; happens, it seems, even among the best of friends.
