Karl Lukens reports:
"CMBO Birding Cape May Point Walk. Good weather (i.e. no wind) and lots of Ducks. Two "spiffy" looking drake Eurasian Wigeons and a drake Redhead on Lighthouse Pond with the usual Gadwalls, Am. Wigeons, Mallards, Ring-necks and Coots. In the raptor category we had 2 sightings of Peregrine Falcon (same young bird twice?), and a perched Red-shouldered Hawk. Assorted sparrows, Yellow-rumps and a couple of Red-breasted Nuthatch were also seen. - Karl (Kathy and Roger Horn, Warren Cairo, Tom Parsons)"
