The Louisiana Waterthrush was very cooperative this morning and seen by many birders. I'm only posting here to note that this is a first county record for Larimer County, according to the updated checklist published by Fort Collins Audubon Society in November 2017. Our checklist is based on all available historical records we can find, not just eBird but also the CFO's Colorado Bird Records Committee data. Andy Bankert even searched CSU records back more than a century. So, perhaps this species has been seen here before, but this is the first documented sighting in the county.
Congrats to Jessie and Matthew on this find, thanks for sharing it, and please file a report with the Records Committee!
