Twilight Watch at the Meadows (Cape May Point State Park) - Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013

Twilight Watch at the Meadows was moved to Cape May Point State Park because they were actively spraying herbicides. Cape May Point was a very good alternative. We had great looks at an American Avocet, Stilt Sandpipers, Eurasian Wigeon and an American Bittern. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Patty Rourke, and Bill Smythe.
