After my first day of High School, some migrants started coming into my yard. Barn Swallows were abundant, aswell as some Cliffs and Banks. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers abundant and a Redstart female, some Prairies, and my second ever Louisiana Waterthrush. Now I could easily see the buffy flanks, large brow extending far to the back of the eye, and the all-white-throat. I watched him on-and-off for about 2 hours, and is still in the yard. I got great looks of him/her about 8 feet away eye-level for a while,and even showed some family members this little bird. They thought it was the cutest little bird, pumping his whole body as he walked along a puddle "chinking" every second.
