Rufous Hornero (Furnarius rufus) - 22Aug2022

The Rufous Hornero lives in the southeast portions of South America including the Pantanal in Brazil which is where I saw many of them.  They and their cousins are the reason the Family is called Ovenbirds.  They craft clay nests that resemble wood-fired ovens.  Horno is the Spanish word for oven.
