Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, June 12th, 2013

Just the breeders and usual suspects this morning. On the beach we did have 1 Piping Plover on nest, 4 American Oystercatchers, and about 35 Black Skimmers maybe looking for a nesting site. We started off at the parking lot with scope views of a singing Blue Grosbeak and an Eastern Kingbird. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, and Chris Marks.
