Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, September 27th, 2015

Blue Grosbeak are still hanging in at Cox Hall Creek WMA and, once again, gave us scope views. These beauties are seconnd-brood late breeders, and just a couple weeks ago the fledglings were still tail-less. A Bald Eagle gave chase to a fish-carrying Osprey but tired of the sport fairly quickly; soon we'll miss these aerial encounters, when the remaining osprey have deserted us for the fish-rich coasts and lakes of Central and South America. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Cindy & Shaun Bamford, Carrie Bell, and Joe Demko.
