Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, September 19th, 2015

Northern Waterthrush are still coming through in migration, and the wet woods at the Rea farm has recently been a very good place to see and often hear them. Today was like that; we broke into three groups and all three groups saw Northern Waterthrush during the walk. A large wood warbler, not a thrush, the Northern Waterthrush is usually a furtive, skulking bird of shadowy understories as it migrates back to its wintering grounds in the tropical mangroves of Central and South America.
Group 1 Leaders: Karl Lukens and Deb Payson.
