Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, June 26th, 2013

Nice morning for birding and we got the usual suspects for a late June day. Of note was a 1st year male Wood Duck on Bunker Pond and an adult Little Blue Heron passed by as we viewed the duck. Other birds of interest were perched and singing Blue Grosbeak, Orchard Oriole, and Indigo Bunting as well as Eastern Kingbirds. Other fly-bys included several Glossy Ibis, Osprey, and 2 Willets and a Least Sandpiper, probably the first of Fall Migration. The beach had Black Skimmers and American Oystercatchers. Leaders: Mike Crewe and Karl Lukens.
