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
