[cobirds] November warbler rally continues: Ovenbird in Longmont

[William Schmoker]

This evening in the last of the light I ventured out to fill my feeders.  A 
little bird I hadn't seen skulking on the ground scurried over to my brush 
pile, and with bare eyes I could see heavy breast striping.  I first thought it 
must be a Song Sparrow but something about it rubbed me wrong so I ran back 
inside to get my bins.  In the dark (around 4:50 with light snow falling) I 
couldn't get much of the bird other than to eliminate any of the normal 
suspects for this time of year, so I ran back again for my camera.  I popped a 
few flash shots and saw to my amazement that it was an Ovenbird picking around 
under my feeders:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/9047968@N02/

I scattered a handful of freeze-dried waxworms  hope the little guy finds 
them.  Not a good night for a bird that should be in a much warmer place by 
now- forecasted low of 6° F.

Enjoy- Bill Schmoker, Longmont

...just happened to have a supply of freeze-dried waxworms on hand, eh?
Classic.
