Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

A nice turn-out of folks today but unfortunately, coastal fog got the better of us and we had to make do with only seeing birds that were less than 100 yards away! A Green Heron and Piping Plover on the Plover Ponds and a very obliging group of Cedar Waxwings were nice walk highlights. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Steve Weis, and Karl Lukens.
