I spent the morning looking for an ovenbird with no success. I walked up and down each block connecting to 41st and Davis several times from 9 -12 Highlight was a Townsend's warbler. Ovenbird could still be there, I was the only birder out looking this morning, it probably takes more eyes than just mine to find it. Happy birding.
