Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, January 23 2010

Karl Lukens et. al. report:

Twenty nine degrees and clear; 12 participants. Still lots of ducks on Lighthouse (east and west) Ponds. Usual suspects, plus the Redhead and the 2 drake Eurasian Wigeons, pleased everyone. Raptors were also around including perched and flying Red-shouldered and Red-tailed Hawks, 2 adult Bald Eagles and a Peregrine Falcon. - Karl (Kathy, Roger, Tom)
