Ovenbirds

I haven't tried to decipher whether there are two different birds in these photos, all I know is that when I was taking these shots there were two birds competing for the same nesting location. I watched for over an hour as they chased each other round and round in a small area not more than twenty yards on a side. They only paused for a few moments to belt out their song, repeating the same ritual every minute or so. This went on for at least a couple of hours after I gave up taking images. Eventually I guess one bird won out since there has only been one male bird in the area since and I assume he found a mate. May 19, 2019.
