Day 171: Louisiana Waterthrush

Even though it's not very colorful, the Louisiana Waterthrush is considered to be a type of warbler. It has a plain brown back and white underparts streaked with black. It looks similar to the Northern Waterthrush, which I wrote about earlier, but is larger in size. The Louisiana Waterthrush also prefers dense vegetation along the water's edge for nesting, while the Northern Waterthrush likes stagnant, swampy waters.

The Louisiana Waterthrush breeds in eastern North America and migrates to the Caribbean and Central America during the winter.
