Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, May 14th, 2014

Although it was a cold and misty morning, we did have some good birding. We found little pockets of birds including Blackpoll, Black-throated Blue, Black-and-white, Magnolia, Pine, and Yellow Warblers, Northern Parula, Yellow-breasted Chat, Red-eyed Vireo, and Scarlet Tanager. Interestingly, we did see and hear at least two or three Yellow-throated Warblers, one of which was determined to be of the albilora sub-species. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Megan Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Warren Cairo, and Chris Marks.
