CMBO Birding Cape May Point walk. A good variety of migrants and breeders. Good looks at Caspian and Gull-billed Terns along with Short-billed Dowitchers, Least Sandpipers and both Yellowlegs, as well as a Great Egret eating an Eel on Bunker Pond. Blue Grosbeak and Indigo Buntings and a couple of Orchard Orioles were in the woods, while Lighthouse Pond held one each Eurasian and American Wigeon.
