CMBO Birding Cape May Point. A good variety of Shorebirds, waders and passerines were enjoyed by all on this morning's walk at Cape May Point State Park.
An immature Little Blue Heron and a close Green Heron were not the usual suspects. The "Blues Brothers" Indigo Bunting and Blue Grosbeak were perched up and singing. A young Common Tern fledgling was on Bunker Pond. Several Familiar Bluet Damselflies were new to most people.
