Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla), California Gulch, Santa Cruz County

This Louisiana Waterthrush was found and photographed by Laurens Halsey on 19 August 2012 in California Gulch.

Casual fall transient and winter visitor to streams in middle elevation canyons, particularly along the Mexican border.

Bold white supercilium broadening behind the eyes, clear white throat (no spotting or streaking), sparse breast streaking (compared to Northern Waterthrush), and buffy flanks.
