The nest is a dome-shaped structure constructed of dead leaves and other plant fibers lined with grass. The nest is placed on the ground and opens from the side. The clutch consists of 3 to 6 white eggs speckled with brown. The incubation period is about 12 days and the young leave the nest about 10 days after hatching. The Ovenbird gets it name from its nest considered by some to resemble a Dutch Oven.
Males can be polygamous with more than one mate.
