Fall Migration Cruise on The Osprey - Saturday, September 21st, 2013

Unexplored niches of Cape May County's great salt marsh were enjoyed by all as were fantastic birds. Two Brant continue along the mud-flats of the Nummy's Island area; great numbers of Red Knots were observed feeding near the Hereford Inlet bridge, and many Caspian Terns delighted us with their expertise at fishing. Leaders: Dave Lord, Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Mike & Megan Crewe.
