Location: Cape Island--CMMBS (Cape May Migratory Bird Sanctuary (Meadows))
Observation date: 5/6/11
Notes: Sunny, mid 60s, very windy; C&MJSlugg, CHajduk. Very windy conditions made birding difficult, especially on the beach. The Green-winged Teal seem to have gone but the Least Terns have moved in. A Piping Plover and American Oystercatchers were crowd-pleasers.
