    Northern Waterthrush

    Not actually a thrush, the two waterthrush species are in the warbler family (Parulidae). However both look and act more like a Spotted Sandpiper, foraging along water edges bobbing their rear ends up-and-down. Note the narrower buffy eyebrow, smaller bill, more spotted throat, buffy belly and...

    Short break between an 8-hour meeting and dinner time. Quickly posting three more from my day at the Tijuana River Valley - two from the bird walk and one butterfly from the bird and butterfly garden. This is my other decent shot of the northern waterthrush.

    This northern waterthrush is something of a celebrity down here lately. Not a normal visitor, even during migration. And they're a pair, though I only saw one at a time. Not easy to capture.

    This was a new life bird for me that was also the 1st bird I photographed today! It was in a marshy location right next to the El Presidente Hotel where I start my estuary walk. It was gloomy but the shot came out well enough to ID the bird. This may be a uncommon to rare bird for the area...
