Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, August 27th, 2017

We had a hard time covering any ground at CHC WMA because there were so many birds to look at, including lots of Ruby-throated  Hummingbirds, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Eastern Kingbirds  and American Redstarts. We had a few Purple Martins present, hawking insects over the fields, even though none bred in the martin "condo" at the back end of the property. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Shaun Bamford, Cindy Bamford, & Sharon Meeker.
