The Ovenbird is a distinctive New World Warbler, known for its olive-brown upperparts, white underparts streaked with black, and a prominent orange crown bordered by black stripes. It walks deliberately on the forest floor.
Where to spot
Breeds across eastern North America, migrating to Florida, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean for winter.
How to spot
Listen for its loud, ringing "teacher-teacher-teacher" song in mature deciduous or mixed forests. Watch for its deliberate walk and tail bobbing on the forest floor.
When to spot
Best seen during the breeding season (late spring to summer) when males sing vigorously. Also observable during spring (April-May) and fall (August-October) migration.

Its common name comes from its unique dome-shaped nest, built on the forest floor and resembling an old-fashioned outdoor oven with a side entrance.
