It was a foggy morninig at Cape May Point so we missed out on any offshore movement of birds, but we notched up one or two other surprises, including a Yellow-throated Warbler (scarce south of the canal) and a season-first Green Heron. Three Whimbrel flew over and a Boat-tailed Grackle was present just before the walk started.
