Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, March 1st, 2014

Cold with no wind and sunny early. Most ponds frozen but nice array of ducks on an open area on Lily Lake. Amongst the numerous Green-winged Teal was one Eurasian Green-winged Teal (unfortunately still not countable as a species in the ABA area). Other birds of interest were the continuing Painted Bunting this time at the feeder on 102 Lincoln Ave. and also on Lincoln was one Eurasian Collared-Dove. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy & Roger Horn, Steve Weis, Catherine Busch, and Mike Hannisian.
