Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, September 20th, 2015

A mix of local breeders - the four young Blue Grosbeak were especially cooperative - and recently arrived migrants such as Blue-gray Gnatcatchers; Nashville, Black-and-white and Yellow Warblers; and numerous American Redstarts made us work pretty hard to find them as they fed silently at various levels at the WMA. The number of Northern Flickers has increased as their migration gets underway and a first-of-season bird for many was a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Group 1 Leaders: Kathy Horn, Shaun & Cindy Bamford, & Deb Payson.
