Ovenbirds are ground nesting and spend much of their time on the ground looking for food. They are well camouflaged and easy to miss in the dense woods.

The first ovenbird of the migratory season stopped by the garden this morning. They are so ridiculously cute. Also, I never knew that they are warblers! Somehow I never cottoned on to that.
An ovenbird stopped by - it is now about the time they finally set their sights south. See you next year!

Another apocalyptic day out there, but at least I had the joy of seeing a new species for the garden stop by - a dainty little ovenbird!

Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) thriving in Hickory Run State Park, PA. So great to see big, healthy #hemlock trees at least for now untouched by #HemlockWoollyAdelgid! #hickoryrunstatepark #Pennsylvania #forest

Sorry that I'm whispering but there's a reverence that automatically takes hold of me when I'm in nature.
