Ovenbird Sound

The Ovenbird’s latin name is Seiurus aurocapilla. It lives in eastern North America, Central America, the Caribbean Islands, Florida, and northern South America. Their preferred habitat is closed-canopy forests, lower canopy, and the forest floor. The female Ovenbird builds its Ovenbird nest in thick leaf litter on the open forest floor at least 60 or 70 feet from the forest edge. The Ovenbird’s breeding season is during the spring and summer. They migrate south for winter. Their population status is of least concern.

The Ovenbird bird can be found at Coal Creek Farm year round. The primary Ovenbird call is a rapid, resounding tea-cher, TEA-cher growing louder over the first few repetitions, with 8 to 13 teacher phrases in all. The Ovenbird diet consists of beetles, larvae, ants, caterpillars, flies, worms, spiders and snails. Their population is about twenty-two million.
