Louisiana Waterthrush, Parkesia motacilla
The Louisiana Waterthrush closely resembles its near relative the Northern Waterthrush, differing in the supercilium or eyebrow streak; the Louisiana's is longer and broader toward the rear, and buff in the front where the Northern's is white. This one was photographed while establishing a nesting territory in southern Ohio, well south of the nesting grounds of the Northern.

The waterthrushes justify their name by foraging in streams and feeding on aquatic invertebrates, see above and below.
