A shy spirit of woodland brooks, the Louisiana Water-Thrush resembles
the Northern Water-Thrush in habits but is more difficult to see; its
call-note is louder, its song, wilder, more ringing. Like the Oven-bird
it also has a flight, or 'ecstasy'-song. It nests in a bank or among the
roots of a fallen tree, laying 4-6 eggs, white with numerous brown
markings, in late April or early May.

2. Ossining, common S.R., May 2-Aug. 27. N. Ohio,
rare, Apl. 27 and May 12.

Wet woodland with luxuriant undergrowth of bushes, ferns and skunk
cabbage are the favorite haunts of this sweet-voiced Warbler, and its
nest is usually built among vegetation of this character. Its freely
uttered song is a loud, clear two-syllabled whistle, in tone like the
voice of the Carolina Wren or Cardinal. Its 4-5 eggs, laid in late May
or early June, are white, speckled chiefly about the larger end with
shades of brown.

to Manitoba; winters in the tropics.
