Louisiana Waterthrush – I’m a picky nester!

The Louisiana Waterthrush is actually a warbler but it looks like a thrush.  It searches for a forested ravine with a clear stream that flows all summer for its territory (it eats invertebrates from the stream). It is one of the earliest migrating warblers.  Holden Arboretum and Geauga Park District’s West Woods park are reliable places to find them.
