Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, June 19th, 2013

Rather slow summer type birding this morning. We did get good looks at swallows, including Northern Rough-winged, Tree, Barn, 1 Bank,  and Purple Martins. American Oystercatchers and Black Skimmers were on the beach. We had a pair of Orchard Orioles along the trails as well as hearing 3 Yellow-breasted Chats, several House and Carolina Wrens, and a couple of Eastern Kingbirds. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Warren Cairo, and Chris Marks.
