Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, November 18th, 2017

A murmuration of hundreds of starlings kept us enthralled as we walked the back fields of the Beanery. The property has a lot of great habitat for sparrows, as evidenced by the eight species we saw throughout the walk, with the highlight being three Clay-colored Sparrows moving between the field and hedgerow and providing great, long looks. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, and Karl Lukens.

Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, November 12th, 2017

The WMA was alive with berry-feasting birds this morning. Especially vibrant among the cedars and rose hips were Cedar Waxwings, a flock of Eastern Bluebirds and a male Purple Finch. A mixed blackbird flock included three Rusty Blackbirds, always good to see, and document in eBird, because of their drastic population decline over the last 15 years. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Joe Demko, Karen Thompson, and Bill Boyle.

Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, November 11th, 2017

Though the male Wood Ducks in the pond were stunning and the Savannah Sparrows along the back hedgerow were quite handsome, they couldn't compete with the young Golden Eagle that came soaring overhead. It really was a day for large high-flying birds as there were kettles of Black and Turkey Vultures, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks and two Bald Eagles. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Kyle Chelius, Karl Lukens, and Michael McCabe.

Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, November 5th, 2017

It's been a long time since we've seen so many Eastern Bluebirds at CHC WMA. Of course, these were migrants but it was great to hear and see them several times during our morning's walk. A lot of sparrows - Field, Song, Savannah, White-throated, and Swamp, along with Eastern Towhee - were feasting in the seedy habitat along with both Eastern(yellow) and Western (brown) Palm Warblers.  Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Lynn Pollard, Dave Pollard, Karen Thompson, and Bill Boyle.

Fall Migrants at The Rea Farm - Saturday, November 4th, 2017

A Baltimore Oriole was a good start to this morning's walk but was perhaps outdone by the American White Pelican circling within a kettle of vultures at the very end. An Eastern Phoebe called frequently along a back hedgerow, undeterred by the presence of the adult Cooper's Hawk that posed for quite awhile and kept the sparrows hidden. Bluebirds and a pipit called overhead and we saw a late-lingering Osprey. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Karl Lukens & Barb Bassett.

No doubt about it, the highlight of this morning's walk was the flock of Eastern Meadowlarks that landed in a nearly shrub, calling, before they flew off. The close Orange-crowned Warbler was a treat also but couldn't outshine those meadowlarks!  Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Kyle Chelius, and Karl Lukens.
