I report an observation of a foraging Ovenbird (Seiurus aurocapillus) follo
wing a nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), near Gainesville, Flor
ida. Close attendance only while the armadillo was moving and disturbing le
af litter suggests the Ovenbird was taking advantage of increased prey avai
lability caused by the armadillo's flushing of insects.
