OVENBIRD, NAPLES BOTANICAL GARDEN, NAPLES, FL

   Even though these photos are out-of-focus, we can still ID this bird as an Ovenbird by its distinct black streaks on white underparts,  bold white eyering and dark lateral crown stripes (2nd photo; unfortunately color inbetween stripes can't be made out, but was seen as orangish).  The Ovenbird is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 591a.
