I had been out running errands at various places in Cecil County, and was almost home when I heard a scrambling sound and looked down to see a small brown bird on the floor of the front passenger area. It then hopped up onto my gear shift lever, and I got the closest look at an Ovenbird that I have ever had. Other than gaping, it looked unstressed and uninjured. When I got home, I pulled the car up next to the woodlot and opened the doors. The bird sat quietly for a minute, looking around, and then flew out into the shrubs. It flew quite strongly. I think I must have picked this bird up while driving past Elk Neck State Forest. A small cluster of leaves broke off a tree and hit the roof of the car, and out of the corner of my eye I saw something brown - I thought it was a dead leaf - come in the open window. If that was indeed the bird, it unfortunately endured about half an hour in the closed car while I did some shopping before going home. I'm surprised it did not look more stressed. I guess I have to start a new bird list - birds seen IN the car.
