Subject: Allegheny County - eBird -- Linbrook Park -- Apr 15, 2024
We went for a short walk along Big Sewickley Creek in Linbrook Park this afternoon. There is a lot of water damage with one bridge closed. Some of the blooming Trout Lily and Spring Beauty has taken a toll, but the other wildflowers are doing well. We were hoping to see FOY Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and perhaps a Louisiana Waterthrush, and were rewarded with both! The Waterthrush walked along the opposite side of the stream for over 15 minutes giving us wonderful looks. Af the end of our walk, I heard the sounds of a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, and found it feeding in a flowering tree. Three Phoebes have returned again this year.
