YTWA no, but LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH yes!  
This morning I ran into Marilyn Bontly and Norma Zehner who were, like me, 
seeding the Yellow-throated Warbler.  We struck out on that one, but we found a 
LOUISIANA WATERTHRUSH in Locust Ravine.  
We also had FOY BLUE-GREY GNATCATCHER and (for me a FOY) WHITE-THROATED SPARROW.
