[Ontbirds]Louisiana Waterthrush at Presqu'ile

[Doug McRae]

Greeting all,

It is another productive day at Presqu'ile with a good mix of  
landbirds - mostly expected species.  The highlight was a Louisiana  
Waterthrush that Sarah Petrasek and I found on the Jobes' Woods trail  
around 1100h.  It was hopping around flooded sections of the forest  
floor about 20 m before you get to Post 5.  It was subsequently  
relocated and seen by several other birders until at least 1200h and  
is likely still in the area.  There are also several Northern's on  
territory in this area as well.  Louisiana's are still quite rare at  
Presqu'ile with only a handful of valid records on file.

Cheers,

Doug McRae
