Midweek at the Meadows - Wednesday, April 1st, 2015

Although a bit cold and windy, our inaugural Wednesday walk through the South Cape May Meadows Preserve gave us good looks at lingering wintering birds and new spring arrivals. Highlights included as many as five Osprey fishing at a time, a skirmish between an adult Bald Eagle and a fishless Osprey, multiple, and close Horned Grebe along the beach. We were pleased to see early spring migrants including Blue-winged Teal, Eastern Phoebe, Barn Swallow, and many singing Red-winged Blackbirds staking out their territories. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Steve Weis, Catherine Busch, and Mary Watkins.
