Today was the initial Wednesday’s Winter Wanderings which begins at CMBO’s Northwood Center! We were greeted warmly by the CMBO staff members, Mike, Jessica and Brian, very good hot coffee and very much appreciated on this blustery day. When we started it was 27 degrees with about 20 mph winds. When we finished the wind was still blowing, but the temperature had dropped to 24 degrees. But our band of hardy souls ventured out into the wilds of Cape May Point and were rewarded with 50 species of birds. The highlight was an American Pipit that was walking down the middle of Harvard Avenue and continued to move down the road in front of us for probably five minutes. All in all it was a fun morning! Come out next week and join in the fun!
