#ovenbird
This panel for The Nature Conservancy in New Hampshire was a lot of fun to create. All about the oak trees in the Manchester Cedar Swamp, and some of the critters that enjoy them.

Waiting for ovenbirds to return.
Ovenbird at Trinity Church, Manhattan
A lovely little chicken. Unfortunately I also found a dead one that had hit building glass not far from this location.

ALTApril 15, 2022 - Dark-bellied Cinclodes (Cinclodes patagonicus)
These cinclodes are found along the coast, on lakeshores, and in other areas near water in southern Chile and far western Argentina. They feed on invertebrates, foraging on the ground among rocks and debris and near the edge of water. Their grass nests are built in rock crevices, tree cavities, animal burrows, or holes in buildings and other structures. Females lay clutches of two to four eggs.
ALTMay 7, 2022 - Brown Cacholote (Pseudoseisura lophotes)
These ovenbirds are found in forests and open woodlands in parts of Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina. Foraging mostly on the ground in pairs or small flocks, they eat insects, as well as some birds’ eggs and fruit. They build bulky stick nests with entrance tubes on horizontal branches in small trees or scrub. Females lay two to four eggs. Both parents incubate the eggs and feed the chicks.
