Ovenbird Movie at L.A. River
[Posted by Chuck Almdale]
Local birder James Hecht posted this very nice film on LACoBirds@groups.io bird alert listserve yesterday.
The Ovenbird, found a few days ago by Jeff Boyd, showed itself well with best viewing from the bench area along the greenbelt trail just opposite the corner of DeForest and 27st along the LA River. It popped out for the second time after 2 PM and stayed out in the open long enough for me to obtain some videos under good lighting conditions.
Click the photo below to go to the video on Flickr. You can then click the big arrows at the right to see additional photos of the bird, an additional and longer video, and then other good-looking birds photographed by James. Good film and photos of a Very Good Bird! Of what bird does it walking style remind you?

As someone who is older with limited mobility I miss bird watching but your video made me feel as I were there. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks goes to the photo/videographer, James Hecht.
If you poke around on his Flickr page (linked to in the blog), you may find more such films.
But I’ll keep your comment in mind and keep my eyes open for similar “feels-like-I’m-birding” videos.
If you run across any you enjoy, send me the link and I’ll post them for others.
