Jerry Butler's article about the wintertime hummingbirds in our state in
today's Democrat Gazette is well-written, great pictures, just a very good
summary of what to the real birders is exciting and a matter of curiosity
for the casual ones.. (I somehow didn't get the effect from Kim's posting
on ARbird as from my morning paper...but then I'm not very geeky..just very
nerdy..so newspapers are my media!!!

Today an early, at least for the Erbie area, Louisiana Waterthrush was singing
near the Buffalo River just upstream from the Erbie crossing this morning.
The bird had me guessing for awhile because it sounded more like a Northern
Waterthrush which would have been really early. The sound of the river made
hearing difficult so I ended up taking off shoes and socks, rolling up pants,
and wading the river. Half way across I was compelled to look down and
fortunately in the clear water could see my feet even though I could no longer
feel them.
Finally, I got directly under the bird and although the song was not typical
Louisiana, and I couldn't get a clear look at the eye-line, I was able to check
out one of my favorite secondary field marks which is a clear unspotted chin. I
remember this field mark with the idea that the spots on the Northern are a
scarf the bird needs to keep warm!
