Louisiana Waterthrush

The Louisiana waterthrush is not a common bird at Magee Marsh, but it is seen occasionally (typically during the last two weeks of April).  Distinguishing this bird from the northern waterthrush (which peaks in the second week of May at Magee) is often done based on the color of the superciliary stripe, which is white in the Louisiana and often buffy yellow in the northern.  Another commonly diagnostic feature is the leg color: the Louisiana has "bubblegum-pink" legs, while the northern's legs are dark.  Note that both waterthrushes resemble small thrushes, due to their brown dorsal plumages and light, streaked ventral sides.
