The most awesome Wednesday walk so far this year peaked with outrageously good views of a young Wood Stork circling right over Cape May's famous lighthouse - alongside an adult Bald Eagle!! But the walk had been great all round, with migrants a-plenty overhead right from the start, oodles of Palm Warblers in the dunes and a nice array of ducks on the ponds, including our now legendary Black-bellied Whistling-ducks.
