Cox Hall Creek Bird Walk - Sunday, May 18th, 2014

A male Baltimore Oriole was the star of this morning's Cox Hall Creek walk, both because he was so difficult to see - though singing incessantly - and so beautiful when finally seen. Male Blackpoll Warblers are passing through in migration now, singing as they go, and this is always a good place to see Great Crested Flycatchers.  Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Cindy & Shaun Bamford, and Deb Payson.
