Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek - Sunday, October 13, 2019


Warbler sightings were low today at CHC WMA but woodpeckers were plentiful, in large part due to the many migrating Northern Flickers. CHC has a lot of large old trees which provide excellent habitat for woodpeckers and we had four species including the usual Downy and Red-bellied plus the recently returned Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Eastern Towhees have started to call again after a long period of silence and Brown Thrashers can be heard almost everywhere.
