Very poor picture, I know. I had to zoom my cellphone camera. A leaf is blocking beak.
Observation details
Appeared December, 2018, and makes an appearance just about every day in front of the underbrush of a wooded lot next to my front porch . I throw sunflower seeds on the ground there for him (?) and white throated sparrows, cardinals, Carolina wrens, towhees, goldfinches and various other birds that decide to periodically feed on the ground. When I first saw him, back in December, I was so surprised and pleased. He was the perfect specimen, no doubts at all about what kind of bird he was. The upper body is light olive/tan, with his white under parts plainly streaked in black. He has 2 dark stripes on his head (no orange seen), a warbler type bill, and white rings around his eyes. And he walks like a chicken. He is the size of the white throated sparrows that hang out in the underbrush too. Trying to ID the 3 white throated sparrows that show up is how I came to know what an ovenbird is. I kept running into ovenbird pictures online. I never thought I'd see one though! I can't say that I've heard them sing or call.
