Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapilla), Cameron Trading Post, Coconino County

This ovenbird was observed by Marley and Dennis Wall at the hotel garden at the Cameron Trading Post on 29 May 2007 and photographed by Dennis Wall the same day.

Ovenbird is a rare transient and casual winter visitor.  It is an ABC Sketch Details species. 

Submitting photos to AZFO does not constitute reporting a rare bird for consideration as an official record. To ensure that a record becomes official, details or photos of Sketch Details Species should be sent to the Editors of North American Birds and a full report of Review Species should be submitted to the Arizona Bird Committee. Most rare birds are under _documented and subsequent observers of a rarity are always encouraged to submit reports and additional photos, especially for birds that are challenging to identify.
