While co-leading a field trip at Afton State Park for the Hastings Area Birding Festival this morning, I heard a LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH. The group didn't get visuals, but we got to listen to it sing clearly and repeatedly. The bird was down the main trail from the upper picnic area, to the left of and downhill from the picnic shelter where the trail splits. This bird is in appropriate nesting habitat, and I'm cautiously hopeful that it may stick around for the season.
