Cape May Point State Park - Wednesday, October 26th 2011

Having missed a couple of Wednesday walks due to poor weather, it was good to be back out in the field. Certainly duck numbers had increased since our last walk, there was a fabulous Northern Gannet show offshore, American Coot numbers were impressive and the good Fall for Eastern Meadowlarks continues.
