Another great morning walk around Cape May Point State Park, with signs of more species arriving in the shape of Great Crested Flycatcher and Yellow-billed Cuckoo, and an increase in numbers of Least Terns and Indigo Buntings. A small kettle of Turkey Vultures carried several Broad-winged Hawks and a Red-shouldered Hawk with it. The Purple Martin colony is up to around 50 birds now.
