It was beautifully warm morning for us to explore the point. American Robins were around town in force and tens of thousands of Tree Swallows swirled above our heads. The corner by St. Mary's provided us a great selection of birds to study including Song Sparrows, Savannah Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, House Sparrows, a young Brown-headed Cowbird, and a singing Carolina Wren. We got great looks at close Northern Gannets, Parasitic Jaegers, Surf and Black Scoters, an Eastern Meadowlark, and a Horned Grebe at the beach access at Coral Avenue. As we made our way back to Cape May Point State Park we passed through a massive mixed flock of Red-winged Blackbirds, Brown-headed Cowbirds, European Starlings, and Common Grackles. A quick pit-stop at Lighthouse Pond provided a study of various duck species and a perched Cooper's Hawk. Leaders: Margeaux Maerz, Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Mary Watkins, and Steve Rodan.
