Similarly to Shantanu's observation of the LA Waterthrush, I've seen
Ovenbird, another species normally closely associated with the ground,
singing from 20 feet or so up in a tree. In most cases, they were on very
thick limbs or slanting trunks, which allowed the O-bird to walk along
pretty much as it would on the ground, rather than perching on small
twigs the way most warblers do...
