New feeder bird?



Yesterday around 7:00 PM I glanced out the kitchen windows at the feeders 
across the driveway.  I saw a small brownish bird under them.  Lately the 
only ground birds have been cardinals and M. doves so I got out the 
binoculars to have a look, thinking sparrow?  I was wrong.  As I looked 
through the binocs, it looked like a Wood Thrush for an instant. It's back 
was too greenish brown and smaller in size though.  It was walking along and 
sweeping at the dry earth with it's beak. It was as ovenbird!  I'm not sure 
if it was just walking along and happened to pass through my feeder area or 
if it visited intentionally!  It did take a quick bath in the birdbath and 
then flew onto a low branch and then I lost sight of it.  I am slowly but 
surely getting to see all  those different songsters that I've been hearing 
around the house for months.
