Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, July 11th, 2012

A very busy Bunker Pond bristled with activity as parties of southbound shorebirds rubbed shoulders with a slowly increasing number of herons and egrets. Two Pectoral Sandpipers were our first of Fall and an adult Green Heron posed very nicely for us. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Chris Marks, Steve Weis, and Warren Cairo.
