About the Louisiana Waterthrush:

Despite its name, the Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla) breeds across much of the eastern United States wherever clear, fast-flowing streams wind through deciduous forests. One of the first warblers to return each spring, it announces its presence with a ringing, cascading song that echoes off rocky stream banks. Its constant tail-bobbing while foraging along the water's edge makes it one of the most entertaining and recognizable woodland birds.
