Ovenbird

Ovenbirds are large wood warblers, sometimes confused by the untrained birder for a thrush. This migratory bird breeds in eastern North America and winters in Central America, many Caribbean Islands, Florida, and northern Venezuela. This bird is alertly walking through the forest looking for insects.
