Ovenbird
Mike saw a bird walking by the path and Chris got the binoculars and said it was an ovenbird. Mike was impressed since he'd never heard of them. We watched as it tried to eat a caterpillar (the fuzzy-wuzzy type). You can see the reddish caterpillar on the ground below the beak in the top photo. As we got closer, it took the caterpillar into some shrubs, not wanting to share.
