Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, May 31st, 2015

It must be a record - scope views of three different Carolina Wrens and one House Wren, perched up and singing! Indeed if you judge a bird walk by the quality of the scope views, today's was a fine one. Male and female Blue Grosbeaks perched side-by-side on a branch, a Red-bellied Woodpecker nestling peeking out of it's hole - even a White-eyed Vireo sitting up singing in the dappled light of a wooded area. The Orchard Oriole female, seen last week near what we suspect is it's nest area was still present, and was scoped - and we still couldn't find it's nest.  Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Shaun Bamford, Deb Payson, and Hugh Simmons.
