The weather was foggy over the ocean and feeders were not being used. So we decided to go walk Cape May Point State Park. Looking out over Bunker pond we had a single Snow Goose sleeping amongst the Canada geese. The number of Gadwall had increased since last weekend. It was quite impressive. Also a lone male Red-breasted Merganser was diving about. Seemed an odd place for him. Usually they are seen in the back bay areas. Lastly, there was another single duck on "Al's Pond" in the back, along the blue/yellow trail--a female Blue-winged Teal. She stood out amongst the American Wigeon, Mallards and Northern Shovelers as the smallest duck on the pond. Leaders: Roger Horn and Karl Lukens.
