RE: Bird ID Needed



All--

Thanks to everyone who assisted in identifying the poor bird who met its
demise on my deck.  Based on your observations and my subsequent re-review
of the guides and research on the Internet, does indeed point to this
specimen being an Ovenbird.  This is the second rather unique bird in the
last 2-3 months which has apparently flown into a window on my deck.  The
first appeared to be a black throated warbler.

Best regards,

Well, another bird has met its demise on my deck.  I have gone through
Audubon & Peterson's guides and cannot identify it.  Following is the best
description I can come up with: sparrow-sized, live, white underside with
black stippling on breast up to neck, 2 black 'stripes' on top of its head,
short narrow tail & short pointed beak.  Any ideas?  I've bagged it.
Thanks.
