81. Louisiana Waterthrush

Date          April 16, 2003
Location     Nationwide Plaza 1, Columbus, OH




The migrants that stop over in this little oasis in downtown Columbus would, apparently, spend more than a day here. Once I located this bird, I was able to find him every time I went outside on breaks or at lunch. He moved about exclusively on the ground.

It took two days of watching him and several field guides to finally nail down what it was (Northern vs. Louisiana). Fortunately, the corporate library had a Peterson's and Sibley's guide in the library, so when I spotted a bird I wasn't sure of, I could memorize the field marks and scurry inside to try to make the identification.
