Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, March 17th, 2012

Foggy, with low visability over the lakes, ponds and ocean, but there still were some scopable birds. Ducks are less in numbers and variety, but we still had Gadwall, Mallard, American Wigeon, and Blue-winged Teal. Around the jetties were numerous Black Scoters, and a very close Red-throated Loon. On the jetties were Ruddy Turnstones and Purple Sandpipers. We were able to see and hear the pair of Eurasian Collared-Doves.....mating season? Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy & Roger Horn, Steve Weis, and Catherine Busch.
