Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, November 8th, 2015

There are parking lot puddles at the back entrance to CHC WMA and that's where the birds were playing today. Eastern Bluebirds, Cedar Waxwings, Chipping Sparrows and House Finches bathed and drank while Eastern Meadowlarks, Purple Finches and Eastern Phoebe hung out in nearby trees. A Sharp-shinned Hawk caught a bird mid-air and the Golden-crowned Kinglets put on a really close show. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Shaun Bamford, Deb Payson, and Joe Demko.
