Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, September 2, 2018

The parking lot was very quiet - a nuthatch, some blue jays, a crow. But only a short way down the path, we started hearing the chatter of Baltimore Orioles - many Baltimore Orioles.  Mixed in with the Orioles was a nice variety of warblers including many American Redstarts and Black-and-white Warblers plus Canada Warbler, a Blue-winged Warbler and a Northern Waterthrush, intent on feeding as he bobbed along the pond edge.
