South Cape May Meadows - Monday, August 16, 2010

"CMBO Morning Walk at "The Meadows" with Pete Dunne. Good waders, shorebirds, and beach birds this morning. Scoped Blue Grosbeak from the parking lot at the start. Still 1 young Piping Plover on the beach where we also found 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls, one near adult. Several hours after the walk there were 2-3 Black Terns hunting the meadow ponds."
