Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, September 13th, 2015

The warblers were dripping, dropping and flitting from the trees - all shades of "-Start" - "redstart", "yellowstart", and "peacheystart", joined by Black-throated Greens without black throats and Black-throated Blues with no black and no blue, but all close enough to see their fall plumage well and to get a real sense of their transition from spring to fall finery. An adult Bald Eagle seemed to flirt with the idea of going for an Osprey's fish but never made its move. Two participants thought they may have glimpsed a couple Northern Bobwhite going down into the grasses while the rest of us were distracted by warblers but we never saw or heard any further sign of them. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Deb Payson, Cindy Bamford, & Carrie Bell.
