This Ovenbird was discovered and photographed by Gary Graves on 01 May 2013 in the rectangular cottonwood grove in the Quigley Wildlife Area which is north of Tacna.

Ovenbird is a rare but annual transient in Arizona.

This is a distinctive walking warbler with dull olive-green upperparts, white eye-ring, two latural crown stripes with an orange patch in the center, and dense streaking on the white underparts.
