Northern waterthrush

Northern waterthrush, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, July 23, 2019.

Had a waterthrush show up in the yard. It spent about 20 minutes feeding and bathing before flying off.
It returned later and Anne was able to see it.
Parkesia noveboracensis
As their habitats change during the course of the nonbreeding season, becoming drier or wetter, Northern Waterthrushes move around to seek optimal wet habitats that provide adequate food. For some, this means moving to a wetter part of the swamp, but others that winter in tropical mountain forests move downslope as the dry season commences.

Sam seemed quite upset over the blow to feline superiority.
