Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, September 25th, 2016

It was an eight-warbler morning at Cox Hall Creek WMA, though over 30 of those individuals were Palm Warblers, including one Eastern, or Yellow, Palm. A highlight was a Bay-breasted Warbler, still in good plumage and unmistakable in its rich rusty hues. Ruby-crowned Kinglets were first-of-season birds for many of us. Red-breasted Nuthatches, which started showing up in good numbers a few weeks ago, are still present, with their toy horn call often being the first sign of their presence. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Shaun Bamford, Cindy Bamford, Deb Payson, Karen Thompson, and Bill Boyle.
