Photo Walks with Mike Hannisian - Saturday, August 16th, 2014

CMBO's second Saturday Photo Walk at Cape May Point SP took place two days after the first good land bird flight of the season. However, as is often the case, two days was a bit long for the birds to hang around for our Saturday Photo Walk. Be that as it may, Cape May in August almost always has goodies to shoot, and this week was no exception. The abundant Blue Dasher made itself known during the walk, as did damselflies such as the Rambur's Forktail. Also present throughout the park were Swamp Rose-Mallows. But the highlight of the day was Needhams' Skimmers which posed for us for as long as we wanted to shoot them. It's still early in the season, so next week may well be even better! Hope to see you there.
