Cape May Point State Park - Wednesday, September 28th 2011

The South Beach continues to provide a nice gull show, with three Lesser Black-backed Gulls seen this morning. On the ponds, three Pied-billed Grebes are now present and two unidentified moorhen species flew off all too quickly. A Cape May Warbler in the cedars was a nice way to round off the walk.
