Cape May - Hidden Valley Ranch, Cape May, Aug 25, 2011 7:30 AM - 9:30 AM
Hidden Valley was very quiet this morning. We had good looks at male, female, and young Blue Grosbeaks. Several Great Egrets were migrating
overhead. Small groups of Bobolinks were heard overhead. On the mammal front we
had two White-tailed Deer frolicking in the back of the first field.
