Before we could see it, we could hear it, as is often the case when birding. As we rounded a corner mid-way through the CHC walk, an adult male Blue Grosbeak was perched atop a snag, singing his song in a whisper. On the way back he was still there, now giving the typical grosbeak chip, only softer. White-eyed Vireos and Eastern Wood Peewees are still singing at CHC and we had six warbler species (Yellow, Common Yellowthroat, Nashville, Black-and-white, Chestnut-sided and American Redstart). Bobolink, a species now migrating through the area (see Raptor.specteo.com for frequent Cape May migration reports) were heard overheard several times during the walk and a flock dipped down for a brief view. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Shaun & Cindy Bamford, Deb Payson, Carrie Bell, and Joe Demko.
