Despite a forecast of rain, the weather held dry and the birds performed wonderfully at Cape May Point State Park this morning. Stars of the show were the wonderful Yellow-breasted Chat, Orchard Oriole, Indigo Bunting and Blue Grosbeak, all of which sat out in full view for us and sang their heads off. A close Great crested Flycatcher drew a lot of admirers and we also got up close and personal with Eastern Wood Pewee and several Cedar Waxwings.
