There are red-bronze iridescent spots on the gorget. R1 is fully black; R2 is white only at the very tip. The bird perched in one spot from 9:20 until 10:20. The favored perch is obscured. Look on the right side of the bush directly to the rear of the feeder. A beautifully marked ovenbird was present most of the time under the large tree against the wall to the left of the feeder. A word of thanks for the gardener, who has been very helpful and welcoming.
