Cape May Point - Saturday, August 7, 2010

CMBO Birding Cape May Point Walk. Bunker Pond still continues as a prime birding area. Numerous waders - including Tricolored Heron - and shorebirds are present with an occasional specialty such as the two American Avocets on Thursday and the Marbled Godwits yesterday and this morning. Cedar Waxwings, Indigo Buntings and Orchard Orioles continue in the woods along the trail. We finished off the walk with the three continuing Black-bellied Whistling-ducks.
