[SBB] Northern Waterthrush Charleston Marsh

[Matthew Dodder <[[email protected]]>]

All,

Kelly and I checked in on the NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH again this afternoon around 5:00. It was calling loudly at the far western arm of the marsh. The area is accessed off of Charleston Road (near Amphitheater) in Mountain View. We parked at MIPS, crossed the street and walked on the left-hand trail beginning at the trellis. A sharp left appear about half way to where we saw and heard the Waterthrush. There are several large radio dishes along this section of the creek as well as some large red brick buildings on the other side. The bird was repeatedly dodging back and forth from a small patch of mud to the nearby reeds. The call note is impressively loud and quite different from the more liquid calls of the surrounding Yellow-rumped Warblers. It is conspicuously washed with yellow on the underside and continually bobbed its tail, much like a Spotted Sandpiper.
