A mighty breeze was blowing off the bay throughout our walk which mostly kept the songbirds tucked out of sight, but the Northern Gannet show more than made up for it as they cut arcs right around Cape May Point. Migrant Ospreys were evident and the over-wintering - though very elusive - Orange-crowned Warbler and Yellow-breasted Chat were nice bonuses. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Warren Cairo, Steve Weis, and Chris Marks.
