Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, October 7th, 2012

The weedy fields at Cox Hall Creek WMA were full of feeding, flitting Palm and Yellow-rumped Warblers trying to stay low in the drizzle during this morning's walk. Good numbers of White-throated, Swamp, Chipping, Field and Song Sparrows are present there now, along with many Eastern Phoebes, Gray Catbirds and Yellow-shafted Flickers. A couple of Scarlet Tanagers and Indigo Buntings added color to the morning. Raptors included Bald Eagle, Peregrine, American Kestrel, Merlin, and Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Cindy Bamford, Mary Jane & Chuck Slugg, and David Lord.
