Cox Hall Creek WMA - Saturday, October 16th, 2016

It's always a sign of good birding when we don't cover much ground on a walk, when we don't know what to look at first. Today it was the sparrows - Lincoln's, White-crowned, White-throated, Swamp, Field, Chipping and Song - that kept us spellbound in one spot for awhile. The warblers had the same effect as we sorted out Pine from Yellow-rumped, then Black-throated Green and Palm Warblers. Ah, to be a Cape May birder in the fall! Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Shaun Bamford, Cindy Bamford, Joe Demko, and Karen Thompson.
