	February 1998 Hornero
		What you see in the picture below is a nest, painstakingly constructed by a bird name "Hornero" (Furnarius rufus).
		Before our ecological times, it was common practice by the linesmen to destroy the nest to avoid the problems mentioned above.
		Another solution, adopted later, was to install between insulators a wire structure which prevented the "Hornero" from constructing the nest on the crossarms.

	Fornarius rufus-HORNERO (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		El hornero - o "casero" - es un verdadero artesano del barro, con el que llega a moldear una construcción tan sólida y formidable como posiblemente no exista en todo el reino de las aves.
		El hornero es muy confiado y en la busca de barro para amasar o de insectos y gusanos para alimentarse, suele arrimarse a las casas y aun a las personas que permanecen quietas.
		Los horneros se mantienen en un mismo sitio a lo largo del año.

	Hornero - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The horneros, also known as ovenbirds (though unrelated to the Ovenbird, which is a parulid warbler) are members of the genus Furnarius in the family Furnariidae, native to South America.
		Horneros are rather soft-looking, light-brown birds known for building mud nests that resemble old wood-fired ovens.
		Horneros are a national emblem of Argentina, one of the many countries they inhabit.

	House Sparrows Usurp Hornero Nests in Argentina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-12)
		The resident Hornero flew to the nest, vocalized, and chased the sparrows.
		On 19 October the Horneros were seen in the vicinity of the nest, but did not chase away the sparrows.
		Hornero nests were censused between 20 and 30 October and 20 and 30 December 1972 to ascertain the extent of nest use by House Sparrows.

	Ovenbird (family) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is a diverse group of insectivores which gets its name from the elaborate "oven-like" clay nests built by some species, although others build stick nests or nest in tunnels or clefts in rock.
		The Spanish word for "oven" gives the conspicuous horneros their name.
		Furnariid nests are always constructed with a cover, and up to six pale blue, greenish or white eggs are laid.
