Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, April 21, 2019


Cormorants are on the move currently; we had seventy winging their way overhead this morning. A singing Prairie Warbler, a Great-crested Flycatcher, two Spotted Sandpipers, three Green Herons and a Blue-headed Vireo were first-of-season birds for most of us on today's walk. However, we found no Easter bunnies nor any Easter eggs. 🐇
