I was able to find the waterthrush this morning at Santiago Creek Park. I first saw it a little upstream from the cement culvert feeding close to the north side of the channel. It moved upstream, stopping and feeding until the water ran out, upon which it returned to the culvert. The waterthrush seemed very comfortable in its surroundings.

An unexpected surprise, I heard then briefly saw a NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH asI went through Huntington Central Park this morning. It was making a sharp, emphatic "spwik" call unlike the metallic "chink" calls of the wintering bird. It was in the bushes on the south side of the Crescent Pond just west of where the path goes under overarching willows. (To find the pond go south from the Slater parking lot over the 1st bridge follow the path right and the pond is on the left side behind the vegetation.) I later ran into Steve Sosensky at San Joaquin Marsh who mentioned he and Bruce Aird had a Waterthrush recently in the slough along the north side of the big grassy area a few hundred feet from where I saw it today. I presume the wintering bird is still present.
