Northern Waterthrush at Dairy Mart Ponds
I birded the south pond at Dairy Mart Road in San Ysidro last night (09/11/2019) about 5:30 on my way home from work and heard the distinctive chewy chink call of a Northern Waterthrush coming from the cat tails at the south end of the pond. Nathan French followed up on my report this morning and both recorded and photographed a nice looking Northern Waterthrush just where I heard it yesterday. Thanks to Nathan for confirming what I heard.
This is where a Northern Waterthrush spent a few months last year so there’s a chance that it will stay for a bit.
Nathan’s report is at https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S59713262
