Ovenbird, Midlands, Dec 2001 to Jan 2002

Name of photographer and exact location unknown.

Ovenbird
These photos were sent in to the RSPB by a non-birder who was wanting to know the identity of their strange garden visitor that has been apparently visiting their Midlands garden since late December. Apparently, the bird hasn't been seen for a week. Many thanks to the RSPB for sending these on to us.
