\/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Louisiana Waterthrush: Sanford Lagoons, Sanford, Maine, USA \u2014 I have known about the Sanford Lagoons (Sanford Sewage Department) for many years\u2026from word of mouth in the birding and dragonfly communities and occasional posts on the internet\u2026but I have only ever visited once, before yesterday. One of the motivations for my switch to the recumbent trike, and then adding electric assist, was to be able to get a bit further out on my frequent explorations, without resorting to the car. The Lagoons are 15 miles from my door, almost exactly, and while I could have ridden the 30 miles round-trip on my upright ebike, those portions of my anatomy in contact with the bike\u2026mostly my seat, wrists, and hands\u2026would not have thanked me by the end of the ride\u2026and it would have kept me off the bike for at least a day after. The recumbent makes it easy, and I still had half a battery charge left when I got home. \ud83d\ude42 I did not get there until after noon, not the best birding time, but I saw some interesting dragonflies, and a few birds. This was the most unexpected. I was photographing some Cedar Waxwings moving through the tree line at the back of the lagoons when this cheerful bird popped up on a branch just in front of me. Waterthrush! I have only ever seen waterthrushes on very rare occasions\u2026mostly in Ohio at Magee Marsh during spring migration\u2026so it is pretty amazing that my mind supplied at least that much. As to whether it is a Louisiana or a Northern??? Louisiana is the only one on the York County Audubon bird list for Sanford Lagoons, and all 4 of my AI identification aids agree that this is a Louisiana\u2026though I am not certain I could say for sure otherwise. I am sure I do not know the birds well enough to be confident where their range overlaps, as it does\u2026just\u2026here in Southern Maine. We are in the extreme northeast corner of the Louisiana\u2019s range, and well with the range of Northern. All things considered I am calling it a Louisiana until someone who knows better convinces me it is not. \ud83d\ude42 Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent.
