Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, May 1st, 2016

Red-headed Woodpeckers are always a pleasure to see and the Cox Hall Creek WMA is a fairly reliable place to see them, at least during most winters and through early spring. We had scope views on this morning's walk of a bird that's been around for the last few months, flashing it's wide white wing patches and showing off it's ruby head. We also encountered a great little mixed flock of Blue-winged, Yellow-rumped and Black-and-white Warblers, along with a Northern Parula, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and a Blue-headed Vireo. Other warblers seen or heard included Common Yellow-throat, Yellow, Pine and Yellow-throated. Not a bad morning, despite the drizzle!
