Ovenbirds breed throughout much of the eastern US and southern Canada. At first glance, their brownish backs and heavily streaked underparts make them look more like a Thrush than a Warbler. Ovenbirds are common breeding birds in mature forests throughout their range. Although they are difficult to see because they forage in the forest undergrowth, their song is a loud, penetrating "TEACH-ER TEACH-ER TEACH-ER", which makes them easy to identify. This Ovenbird was photographed at a woodland in central New Jersey, USA. Photo taken with a Nikkor 300mm f4 EDAF lens on Kodachrome 200 film. (Date: May 1980)
