Northern Waterthrush.... Metro

Quick run to Metrobeach today was productive for two FOY birds... Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (139) behind the Nature Ctr and a Northern Waterthrush (140) on the middle trail.... The Waterthrush was spotted by Tom Heatley and we quickly followed it as it darted across the path.... Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me today.... Tom managed to get some photos of a Virginia Rail that was calling in the marsh and slowly made its way out in the open for us to see.... Look forward to seeing that pic up on the monitor... he was very close...
