Location: Cape May Point SP
Observation date: 4/30/11
Notes: Sunny and mild with slight breeze; C&MJS, LB, CB. We began the walk with two Cattle Egrets in breeding plumage and an "in-your-face" Carolina Wren.
Good looks at a Yellow-breasted Chat, Piping Plover, and American Oystercatcher were also appreciated. A quick look at a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher was exciting
for the group.
