Species Details

These charismatic rufous and brown birds have a bold white eye stripe and are commonly found in a variety of forest, forest edge, field, and yard habitats. They commonly visit bird feeders and famously can be found nesting in a variety of unexpected places, particularly potted plants. Their loud, rolling “teakettle, teakettle, teakettle” song, along with a surprising variety of other calls, can be heard around the lake any time of year.
