Though the parking lot at Cox Hall Creek WMA seemed quiet, the birds showed up. A couple of perched and singing male Blue Grosbeaks were, less obviously, accompanied by their female and young counterparts feeding down in the grasses. Warblers included Northern Parula, American Redstart, Nashville, Yellow, Black-and-white, Chestnut-sided and Northern Waterthrush. Indigo Buntings at various stages of molt were interesting to compare. Eastern Wood-Pewee, Eastern Bluebird and Great Crested Flycatchers were frequently seen and heard. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Cindy & Shaun Bamford, Janet Crawford, & Carrie Bell.
