Cape May Point - Saturday, February 13, 2010

From Karl Lukens et. al.:

"CMBO Cape May Point Walk. Three brave souls appeared up for the walk and were not disappointed. The ducks were less than before the big snows but the Redhead was still with us along with the Gadwalls and Wigeons (Eurasian Wigeon was not located). Bare ground areas produced Brown Thrasher, Catbird, numerous Fox Sparrows and White-throated Sparrows and American Woodcock. Raptors were Sharp-shinned, Red-tail, and Red-shouldered Hawks. Several Horned Larks were at the State Park parking lot on our return.- Karl (Kathy, Roger)"
