Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, August 26th, 2018


If you read CMBO's "Morning Flight" blog by this year's Counter, Andrew Dreelin, you may remember that on Friday he reported a push of Red-breasted Nuthatches seen from the dike. It seems that some of those birds settled into CHC WMA because we encountered at least 4 of them busily feeding in the pines on the east path there. Not far from their feeding site was a young Red-bellied Woodpecker with not a speck of red on its thin gray-plumaged head.
