[SBB] NOWA Still at Charleston Road Marsh

[[[email protected]]]

All:
 
This morning, Monday March 8, at about 9 AM I finally got good looks at the 
elusive Northern Waterthrush at the Charleston Road Marsh.  I was at the last 
pine just upstream of the Pump House looking at a hummingbird nest that Jack 
Cole possibly described, when I heard this sharp chip.  I immediately froze, and 
the chipping continued.  Then the waterthrush came right by me doing 
waterthrush-like chipping and feeding on the drowned reeds in the water.  A bit later 
it flew up into the trees, but remained in good view where it continued 
chipping.  Then a male American Goldfinch made a swipe at it and the bird promptly 
disappeared.
 
For a while there was a lot of exuberant song: American Goldfinch, Lesser 
Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, Bewick’s Wren, Common Yellowthroat, Gold-crowned 
Sparrows, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Song Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, House Finch, and 
Red-winged Blackbird.
