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.
