The supercillium over the eye would not be found on an Ovenbird. <br /><br />Here is an interesting article published in Birder's World by David Sibley about bird deaths and windows. <br />http://www.birdersworld.com/brd/default.aspx?c=a&id=1511<br /><br />Chris MurrayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-48099674756411953072009-09-14T20:35:28.155-04:002009-09-14T20:35:28.155-04:00As a preventive measure to your mounting bird mort...As a preventive measure to your mounting bird mortality...don't keep your windows so VEERY clean!

My heart goes out to you on the Veery situation because of course I like being wrong and having to admit it about as much as you do. But it puts me in mind of a successful run down Sugarloaf Mt. when I was about 12. I shossed up beside my friend's father and with a grin from ear to ear said, "I just skiied down without a single fall. NO Mistakes!". [He] looked at me and with his high pitched, squeaky voice replied, "Didn't learn much did you!"<br />I do think on the knees to Aspen could be construed as groveling to these birding types so be careful there because even with this one slip, you are still WAY ahead of the pack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-56246570080506216302009-09-14T14:05:58.640-04:002009-09-14T14:05:58.640-04:00Thanks, Ed for sharing in the egg on my face!Thanks, Ed for sharing in the egg on my face!AFTERMATHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041592685191226321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1119844997664774587.post-29191642967816798462009-09-13T20:40:23.105-04:002009-09-13T20:40:23.105-04:00Some birds can drive you crazy with identification...Some birds can drive you crazy with identification. There was a period last year that every time I thought I had photographed a "new" sparrow, it would turn out to be another Song Sparrow.
