This morning we found a waterthrush on the C&O canal towpath, about 1/2
- 3/4 miles N of Riley's Locks. The bird was on the ground on the
towpath, seen at fairly long range, and left when a couple of people
walked by, so we couldn't get a closer look and were unable to determine
for sure if it was a Northern or Louisiana. I'm assuming it was probably
a Louisiana, but am wondering if anyone else has seen a waterthrush in
this area lately.
Also, have the cerulians been seen near mile post 24 recently? The last
post I remember was about 2 weeks ago, and we did not see or hear the
birds this morning.
