Oven-Bird

a brownish, olive-green, woodland bird about six inches long. It belongs to the warbler family. It breeds in the eastern part of North America, and winters on the Gulf and southward. A bulky nest of coarse material is built on the ground with an entrance at one side. The female lays four or five white eggs spotted with cinnamon. The call or song of the oven bird is written by John Burroughs as "teacher, teacher, TEACHER, TEACHER, TEACHER."
