There were two very likely LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSHES (LOWA) in Prospect today. Cooperative for a few birders, I didn't get lucky on my lunch break.
A single LOWA visited and walked within the Vale Cashmere pool, treading on the mostly mudflat. I got word from a passing friend and tried my luck but found out it took off or disappeared seconds before. A revisit on my lunch hour bore no fruit as well despite my half hour search.
The second bird came from a secondhand report. The likely second LOWA was seen walking along the Ravine creek on the north side of the Three Arches nethermead Bridge.
At the Vale pool,a SWAMP SPARROW appeared , sort of a salvage for my missed LOWA.
