Louisiana Waterthrush locations map

[Christine Murray]

This week's atlas challenge to find Louisiana Waterthrush has inspired me to let my computer do the birding. I read that Louisiana Waterthrush like fast-moving streams in forested areas, but where are these fast-moving streams? I made this map that highlights fast-moving streams (over .85 ft per second) where they intersect with forest landcover. 

The streams highlighted in teal are in the LOWA breeding range predicted by eBird Status and Trends, and the orange-highlighted streams meet the criteria but aren't in that range.

I don't know if the birds are really there, but there can't be any harm in checking, right? That link is https://arcg.is/1b0O4K.

Christine,

This is brilliant. Would you be willing to share how you did it? I would love to do it for NH.

Thanks,

Dana

Thanks for the map!  I saw recently at Hinckley Park in South Portland and looked while hiking Elmwood trails

in Pownal on Saturday, but alas none seen.
