Northern Waterthrush

Another bird I rarely see is the Northern Waterthrush. I think they can be a little hard to find since they spend most of their time near the ground in dense foliage and are usually silent in the Fall. I did see a handful of birds this year however, and I've been told they are one of the more common warblers mist netted for banding on Brier Island in late Summer - early Fall. The bird pictured here was found at Hemeon's Head on September 3.
