A foggy Cape May morning saw an intrepid group gathered for the first
Wednesday walk of the year at Cape May Point. Though the weather seemed
daunting, it actually added to our experience as we enjoyed a walk
frequently punctuated by the wonderful calls of displaying Black Scoter out
on the bay. At least six Pine Warblers were busy in the trees and American
Oystercatchers were displaying noisily on the beach. Eastern Bluebird,
Eastern Phoebe, two Blue-winged Teals and the wintering Glossy Ibis all
added to a nice walk - with many more to come! Leaders: Mike Crewe, Warren Cairo, Steve Weis, and Karl Lukens.
