Louisiana Water Thrushes feeding in the rocks. The males sang. These birds are getting more common and must be migrating. In the early morning I sometimes see them flying over town.

Transcription Notes:
The change regarding special characters is wonderful. See instructions page where they say "It is more challenging to key in special characters, so we ask you not to worry too much about them, just do the best you can. However, when one is able to produce the special characters, we welcome them. As long as the characters look right, we can leave them in place during review. See example page."
