Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

As usual, an action-packed walk at the Point, with Brown Pelicans fishing offshore, a Roseate Tern on the beach, the first Lesser Yellowlegs of 'Fall' and plenty of activity around the small Black Skimmer colony. A singing Pine Warbler showed well and was a nice surprise find.  Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Karl Lukens, Patty Rourke, Steve Weis, Tom Baxter, and Warren Cairo.
