Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, October 13th, 2013

Despite the rain and wind, birding was good at the Cox Hall Creek WMA this morning. Pockets of birds feeding in the grasses & trees contained Northern Parula as well as Pine, Palm, Black-and-white, Black-throated Green and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Brown Creeper, Golden & Ruby-Crowned Kinglets, and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers. It's a great place to sort out sparrows, both visually and audibly, with good numbers of Swamp, White-throated, Chipping, Savannah & Song Sparrows present. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Cindy Bamford, Joe Demko, and Deb Payson.
