Wednesday morning's walk around Cape May Point may not have afforded us a large diversity of birds but we got great looks at the birds that were around. The dune crossovers near St. Mary's & Coral Avenue gave us a chance to study the 4 species of tern around Cape May right now, as well as fleeting looks at a Black-bellied Plover and Spotted Sandpiper. We enjoyed a handful of young American Robins bathing in the sprinkler system on a corner while a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher hopped around the nearby crabapple. Yellow Warblers and Ruby-throated Hummingbirds on Coral Avenue renewed our excitement for upcoming cold fronts and fall migrants.
