Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, September 23rd, 2018

It was a drizzly, birdy day this Sunday Morning at Cox Hall Creek WMA.  A Rose-breasted Grosbeak munched on sumac seeds in a field below eye level for quite some time. Warblers were present in good numbers, moving around in mixed flocks, and we had both White and Red-breasted Nuthatches.
