Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, October 23rd, 2013

Cold and rainy morning so we stayed along the dunes, Bunker Pond and around the entrance/exit roads. Ducks don't mind the rain, but the sparrows were a little harder to find. Yellow-rump Warblers were, however, easy to find everywhere. Several American Pipits were seen and heard overhead. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Megan Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Warren Cairo, and Chris Marks.
