Cold and windy but some good birding. We found the Dickcissel at the feeder on Harvard Avenue and had three Eurasian Collared Doves on Whilldin Avenue on wires. The female Redhead was still on Lake Lily with a nice variety of other ducks. Later we had an Orange-crowned Warbler at the junction of the red/yellow/blue trails in the Cape May Point State Park.

Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, January 7th, 2012
Lots of ducks on Lighthouse Pond and Lake Lily with good variety.The adult male Eurasian Wigeon is back again. We did observe two Dickcissels at the island end of Lake Lily, one actually on the island and then two in the trees near the corner of Oxford and E. Lake Drive. Flew with house sparrows towards the Harvard Ave. spot where this species has been seen regularly of late.
