Message: Have had a little bird around our yard in Cottonwood Heights.  
Nothing like I've seen before, and the closest I can come to from bird books 
is the ovenbird--except I didn't think they were supposed to be here.  
Sparrow sized, but tail generally held more upright, yet not as vertical as 
a wren.  Fast little runner--doesn't hop.  Pink legs.  Striped breast.  
Striped crown, although nothing particularly orange.  What caught our 
attention was the behaviour being so un-sparrowlike:  acts like a towhee 
running through the garden vegetation and scratching around.  Any ideas or 
is it actually an ovenbird?
