Ovenbird [OC]

I have no idea why the Seiurus aurocapilla is an "ovenbird." It doesn't look like an oven. It doesn't go in the oven, especially if you think you're going to get anything out of it for your trouble. Truly, it is a mystery.

Apparently their nests are shaped somewhat like an old clay oven

Not to be confused with the dishwasher bird.
