Have been delightfully blessed with the continued appearance of an Ovenbird in my back yard arbor. For all the "teacher-teacher-teacher" I have heard at piercing volumes at what seemed to be arm's reach, I am grateful that one would so proudly strut it's stuff for me day-after-day for the last week and a half. I am surprised that it is so small. I was sure for the volume that it had to be thrush-sized. If opera singers could proportionately wail as loudly as this little guy, opera houses would have to built with reinforced concrete of revolutionary strength with OSHA required hearing protection even across the street. Fortunately, my little visitor is mute during this visit. What a beautiful bird! - and only some 6 feet away out my home office window. LPG.
