The '''northern waterthrush''' ('''''Parkesia noveboracensis''''')<ref name=Chesser/> is a species of ground-feeding migratory [[New World warbler]] of the genus '''''Parkesia'''''. It breeds in the northern part of North America in [[Canada]] and the northern [[United States]] including [[Alaska]], and winters in Central America, the [[West Indies]] and [[Florida]], as well as in [[Venezuela]], [[Colombia]], and [[Ecuador]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Smith |first1=Joseph A.

==Taxonomy==
The northern waterthrush was [[Species description|formally described]] in 1789 by the German naturalist [[Johann Friedrich Gmelin]] in his revised and expanded edition of [[Carl Linnaeus]]'s ''[[Systema Naturae]]''. He placed it with the wagtails in the [[genus]] ''[[Motacilla]]'' and coined the [[binomial nomenclature|binomial name]] ''Motacilla noveboracensis''.<ref>{{ cite book | last=Gmelin | first=Johann Friedrich | author-link=Johann Friedrich Gmelin| year=1789 | title=Systema naturae per regna tria naturae : secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis | edition=13th | volume=1, Part 2 | language=Latin | ___location=Lipsiae [Leipzig] | publisher=Georg.

==Description==
The northern waterthrush is a large [[New World warbler]] (and not a [[Thrush (bird)|thrush]], despite the name). It has a length of {{convert|12|–|15|cm|in|abbr=on}}, wingspan of {{convert|21|–|24|cm|in|abbr=on}} and weighs between {{convert|13|and|25|g|oz|abbr=on}}<ref name="Eaton">{{cite web |url=https://bna.birds.cornell.edu/bna/species/182/ |author=Eaton, S.

The bill is pointed and dark. The throat is lightly streaked brown to black with heavier streaking continuing onto the breast and flanks. The back is evenly brown. Sexes are morphologically similar. Young birds have buff, rather than white underparts. The song of loud, emphatic, clear chirping notes generally falling in pitch and accelerating; loosely paired or tripled, with little variation. Call a loud, hard ''spwik'' rising with a strong ''K'' sound. The flight call is a buzzy, high, slightly rising ''zzip''.<ref name=":1" />

The species may be visually confused for the closely related [[Louisiana waterthrush]] (''Parkesia motacilla''<ref name=Chesser/>), which has buff flanks, a buff undertail, and bright pink legs. The Louisiana waterthrush also has a whiter throat with fewer streaks. More subtle clues include smaller size and smaller bill, a narrower and darker eye-line, and different call note and habits.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book | last=Sibley | first=David | year=2000 | title=The Sibley Guide to Birds | ___location=New York | publisher=Alfred A.

Both waterthrush species walk rather than hop, and seem to teeter, since they bob their rear ends as they move along.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
==Distribution and habitat==
Northern waterthrush territories are distributed across both upland and riparian habitats, but have limited occupation of harvested areas. Crowding into riparian buffer zones adjacent to harvested areas have more difficulty foraging compared to those in untouched areas.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Warkentin |first1=Ian G |last2=Fisher |first2=Allison L |last3=Flemming |first3=Stephen P |last4=Roberts |first4=Shawn E |date=2003-05-01 |title=Response to clear-cut logging by northern waterthrushes |url=http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/x03-002 |journal=Canadian Journal of Forest Research |language=en |volume=33 |issue=5 |pages=755–762 |doi=10.1139/x03-002 |issn=0045-5067|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
On the wintering grounds in [[Puerto Rico]], northern waterthrushes leave daytime foraging areas and fly up to {{convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} to nighttime roosts. The roosts are often located in red mangrove habitats.<ref name = smithetal2008/> Northern waterthrushes winter in 4 main habitats in Puerto Rico: white mangrove, red mangrove, black mangrove, and scrub.<ref name=":0" /> Males, which are larger and migrate earlier in spring, prefer to winter in white mangrove, and are able to maintain or gain weight through the winter. Females winter in the other drier and less food-rich habitats. During the non-breeding period, northern waterthrushes are site-faithful and tend to be solitary.<ref name=":0" />

The first northern waterthrush recorded in Europe was a female trapped in [[Ushant]], France on 17 September 1955. The species was first recorded in the United Kingdom on 30 September 1958, on [[St Agnes, Isles of Scilly|St. Agnes, Isles of Scilly]]. It was caught in a [[Mist net|mist-net]], photographed, and released, after which it stayed until 12 October.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Harris |first=G. J. |author2=Parslow J. L.

==Behavior==
Waterthrushes wintering in red and black mangrove can maintain body weight through the winter but lose weight in scrub. Another determinant in body mass increase in the wintering grounds is moisture.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1=Smith | first1=J.A.M. | last2=Reitsma | first2=L.R. | last3=Marra | first3=P.P. | date=2010 | title=Moisture as a determinant of habitat quality for a nonbreeding Neotropical migratory songbird | volume=91 | issue=10 | journal=Ecology | doi=10.1890/09-2212.1 | pages=2874–2882 }}</ref>
===Breeding===
The breeding habitat of the northern waterthrush is wet woodlands near water, especially rivers and streams. It will occasionally nest in upland areas in the roots of fallen trees.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Warkentin |first1=Ian G. |last2=Roberts |first2=Shawn E. |last3=Flemming |first3=Stephen P. |last4=Fisher |first4=Allison L. |date=2004 |title=Nest-site characteristics of Northern Waterthrushes |journal=Journal of Field Ornithology |volume=75 |issue=1 |pages=79–88 |doi=10.1648/0273-8570-75.1.79}}</ref> Northern waterthrushes build a cup nest constructed of leaves, bark strips, and rootlets in cavities or among tree roots.<ref>Easton, S.W. 1995.

Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, PA, and American Ornithologists’ Union, Washington, D.C</ref> It lays three to six eggs, cream- or buff-colored, with brown and gray spots.
===Food and feeding===
The northern waterthrush is a terrestrial ground feeder,<ref name=":0" /> eating [[insect]]s, [[spider]]s,<ref name="sta.uwi.edu">{{cite web|title=''Parkesia noveboracensis'' (Northern Waterthrush) |website=The Online Guide to the Animals of Trinidad and Tobago| publisher=[[University of the West Indies|UWI]] |url=https://sta.uwi.edu/fst/lifesciences/sites/default/files/lifesciences/documents/ogatt/Parkesia_noveboracensis%20-%20Northern%20Waterthrush.pdf}}</ref><ref name="animaldiversity.org">{{cite web | url=https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Seiurus_noveboracensis/ | title=''Seiurus noveboracensis'' (Northern waterthrush) | website=[[Animal Diversity Web]] }}</ref> [[mollusk]]s (such as [[snail]]s),<ref name="sta.uwi.edu"/><ref name="animaldiversity.org"/> [[worm]]s,<ref name="sta.uwi.edu"/><ref name="animaldiversity.org"/> and [[crustacean]]s found amongst leaf litter, as well as [[minnow]]s, found by wading through water.<ref name="sta.uwi.edu"/><ref name="animaldiversity.org"/>
