The birding on this morning's CHC WMA walk included a nice flock of mixed migrants with nine species of warblers present. Kinglets have started to arrive and we had both Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets, though the latter was only heard. Unlike a few weeks ago, we had two White-breasted Nuthatches but no Red-breasteds; Red-breasted Nuthatches are an irruptive species that show up in years' of food scarcity in the North; an early wave of them seems to have dispersed with smaller numbers still present. A Yellow-billed Cuckoo, sitting at woods-edge at eye level, was a great treat, especially through the scope! Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Shaun Bamford, Janet Crawford, Cindy Bamford, Joe Demko, Karen Thompson, and Bill Boyle.
