This morning's CMBO Cox Hall Creek WMA started off with a quietly-munching-dogwood-berries female Scarlet Tanager; she was still there two hours later at the end of the walk! Two adult Bald Eagles cuddled on a distant treetop, long enough for participants to observe the size difference between the male and larger female. There were many warblers but all either Palms or Yellow-rumpeds. A juvenile (gray-headed) Red-headed Woodpecker was found again this week and a perched Cooper's Hawk let the group approach to within 10 feet before flying off.
