The 'shoulder-season' walk this morning at Cox Hall Creek WMA showed some resident and some migrant species are still around, after days of south/southwest winds. Male, female and young Blue Grosbeaks chipped in the tall grasses along the center path. We spent some time discussing the difficulty in separating flycatchers, as we viewed a 'Traills' as well as several resident Eastern Wood-Pewees. Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Vireo, Eastern Bluebird, American Redstart and Pine Warbler added color to the morning. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Cindy & Shaun Bamford, Janet Crawford, and Steve Weis.
