Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla), family Parulidae, order Passeriformes, Alabama, USA

This species is not related to South American Ovenbirds (family Furnariidae), but is instead in the New World/Wood Warbler family Parulidae.

The common name comes from the oven-shaped ground nest they make, which is domed, and constructed of woven together plant materials (such as grasses and pine needles).
