Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, March 8th, 2014

Nice weather to wander the Point and check the feeders and other spots where the rarities have been seen. We did find one Eurasian Collared-Dove, a Red-necked Grebe on Lily Lake, and after adjourning the walk to Sea Grove Ave., found the Ross's Goose that had been seen during the week at Lily Lake. Leaders:  Karl Lukens, Roger Horn, and Steve Weis.
