ovenbird
The ovenbird (''Seiurus aurocapilla'') is a small songbird of the New World warbler family (Parulidae). This migratory bird breeds in eastern North America and winters in Central America, many Caribbean Islands, Florida, and northern Venezuela.〔〔
==Taxonomy==
The genus ''Seiurus'' is currently treated as monotypic, containing only the ovenbird; it is genetically distinct from all other species in the family Parulidae, probably the first genus to evolve separately from the rest of the family.〔
Before the recent genetic studies were carried out, the waterthrushes were also included in ''Seiurus'';〔 these are now treated separately in the genus ''Parkesia'' as they are not very closely related to the ovenbird.〔
The species name ''aurocapilla'' is a noun phrase, so the original spelling is retained, not changed according to the gender of the genus name; Linnaeus originally named it ''Motacilla aurocapilla'', and the ending is not to be changed to -''us'' as commonly cited in the past.〔 (aurocapilla'', item #169, p. 38 ).〕 Etymologically the scientific name ''aurocapilla'' comes from Latin meaning "golden haired" and ''Seiurus'' from Greek ''seio'', the verb to shake, and ''urus'', from tail.
