Cape May Point - Wednesday, November 10, 2010

But for a great selection of ducks (including the first returning Buffleheads and Hooded Mergansers for our Wednesday walks) there was little to really appreciate on the ground; but all the action was overhead as waves of American Robins, American Pipits, American Goldfinches (don't we need some more imaginative bird names?!!), Pine Siskins, Red-winged Blackbirds and Eastern Bluebirds poured overhead. Karl pulled a Cave Swallow out of a pack of Tree Swallows and a Red-throated Loon was close enough in to appreciate.
