Cox Hall Creek WMA was fairly quiet on this late-August morning but there were enough early fall migrants working the large oaks to keep it interesting. Black-and-white, Pine, Prairie and Tennessee warblers foraged overhead along with American Redstarts. A sure sign of fall in Cape May was the flock of about 40 Bobolink that “binked” as they flew over; it’s time to start listening for that call!
