CObirders, About 10 am this morning I walked west along the Walden/Sawhill boundary, then turned to the south where I walked along a dirt trail/road until I reached the SW corner of Sawhill Lake #1. What sounded like a dozen chickadees and a bird with a very distinct, hard chip were in a tree

[cobirds] Waterthrush sp.

I probably should have identified the waterthrush as Waterthrush sp., because I did not see the leg color to rule out Louisiana Waterthrush (bright pink). There are other subtle differences between the species, but I did not see it long enough to consider them. The brown streaking on the birds
