You have "oven" followed by "bird" in the subject, suggesting ovenbirds to
me. Has anyone seen one around here? This URL shows an ovenbird.

If I were a turkey this Thanksgiving, I would hide out in the most desolate
woods I can. 

 

We don't put ovenbirds in the oven, but we put turkeys there. Our turkey is
in the oven, now. 

 

There are no birds in our yard in Chester, but that's because I hadn't fed
them. I will feed them now and see if we get any sapsuckers, cardinals,
juncos, or maybe even an ovenbird.

BUTU in the oven (Butterball turkey ;-) and even though there is a heavy
mist in Chester the yard is loaded with birds. A Yellow-bellied sapsucker
has been stationed at the suet all morning and doesn't even budge when a
Ruby-crowned kinglet flits in for a nibble. More cardinals than I ever care
to band carpet the ground and all the usual backyard birds are feasting on
cracked corn, thistle and sunflower. A flock of Canada Geese honked over the
roof and a Red-shouldered hawk called overhead when I dashed down to get the
newspaper.

 

Happy Thanksgiving,

Julie K.
