Field Trip Reports: Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, August 4th, 2012

Bunker Pond and surroundings continues to be very "birdy" with shorebirds, waders, and terns numerous and in good variety. Three juvenile Little Blue Herons gave us good, close looks as did a very cooperative Stilt Sandpiper. At the end of the walk, we got word of a Black Tern on the Bunker Pond island and got good looks at it. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy and Roger Horn.
