Early on Friday evening, August 10, I observed a Northern Waterthrush along a 
sluggish tributary of Richland Creek in Greeneville.  I watched the bird for 
over five minutes, obtaining good looks at its supercilium, underparts, and 
tail-bobbing motions in order to distinguish it from Louisiana Waterthrush.

This is a personal early date for NOWA in Greene County, about a month or so 
earlier than I typically find the species in fall.
