Cape May Point State Park - Wednesday, September 21st 2011

A little quiet for the time of year but, this is Cape May, so there was still plenty to see! Yellow Warblers put on a great show in the beachside bayberries and a Blackpoll Warbler was lurking with them. The 'Rips' were heaving with birds (as Tony would say!) and a few warblers and other migrants revealed themselves to us.
