CMBO Evening walk at the South Cape May Meadows- TNC. A nice walk with a little of this and that in the way of Shorebirds. Most interesting were the two adult American Oystercatchers with three chicks. The chicks finally snuggled up under the female and almost disappeared! Also good looks at terns, but just as we found the Roseate Tern in the scope, they all took flight and left the area.
