Northern Waterthrush (Parkesia noveboracensis) Very similar to Louisiana Waterthrush, but usually more yellowish base color below, duller legs, and narrower off-white eyebrow. Also look for small streaks on the throat (clean white on Louisiana). It is found dense vegetation near water. Look for off-white underparts with dark streaks (often with a noticeable yellowish wash) and a whitish eyebrow. Stays on or near the ground, constantly bobbing its rear end up and down. Winters mostly in Mangroves, primarily in Middle America and the Caribbean, extending into northern South America (further south than Louisiana Waterthrush).

PROBABLY NOT

Louisiana Waterthrush (Parkesia motacilla) Winters primarily in Middle America and the Caribbean. Can be found around slower-moving water. Very similar to Northern Waterthrush, but whiter base color below, brighter pink legs, and broader white eyebrow. Also look for clean white throat (usually streaked on Northern).
Diet is aquatic and terrestrial insects, crustaceans. Eats many insects including beetles, bugs, adult and larval mayflies, dragonflies, crane-fly larvae, ants, caterpillars, scale insects; also small crustaceans, snails, a few small fish and seeds. Tends to take larger items than Northern Waterthrush.
Waterthrushes are a genus of New World warbler, Parkesia. The genus was split from Seiurus, which previously contained both waterthrush species and the ovenbird.

November 17-26, 2018 I participated in the bi-annual Cuba Bird Survey with Western Field Ornithologists and the Caribbean Conservation Trust (CCT). Our guides were Kurt Leuschner, College of the Desert, Palm Desert CA, Dr. Luis M. Diaz, Curator of Herpetology at the Cuban National Museum of Natural History in Havana, Jon Dunn, editor of the National Geographic Field Guide to Birds of North America, and local natural history specialists in each region we visited.
I had the privilege again, January 4-14, 2023, to participate in the Cuba Bird Survey. We did find 25 of the 27 endemic Cuban bird species as well as many other interesting plants, animals, and people. Cuba is a fascinating country and is rich in biodiversity!
