Louisiana Waterthrush have returned to Beaver Creek Valley State Park. I =
saw or heard 4 maybe 5 individuals in two areas. The first one was on a =
trail I rarely take. The main trail splits a short ways out and I =
usually take the left trail, but this time I took the right trial =
(something rock trail?) there is a little bridge that goes down hill. As =
I stepped on the bridge a small bird flushed up to a tree and gave a =
loud chip note. I was pretty sure it was "the bird". It sat in a tree =
chipping which made it easy to find and sure enough, it was the =
waterthrush. As I moved on a second bird flew towards the first and =
started chipping. I also thought I heard a third chip from another =
direction.=20
When I returned to the parking lot, I heard another waterthrush singing =
this time to the right of the bridge as you face the parking lot. =
Another waterthrush a little farther up was chipping as the other sang.
other recent arrivals - Eastern Towhee, Field Sparrow, Orange-crowned =
Warbler. Only a couple of shorebirds in Houston Co. Both Yellowlegs and =
Snipe near Wildcat Landing.
