Cape May Point - Wednesday, October 27, 2010

This was a strange walk as the threat of rain and gusty SW winds kept migrants to a minimum. Even so, we enjoyed a good passage of Northern Gannets, Royal Terns and scoter offshore, two Peregrines sat and sulked on the beach and Lighthouse Pond did us proud with a great range of ducks.
