Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, May 21st, 2014

It was a cloudy day, but a few areas of warblers were found. Warblers included Common Yellowthroats, American Redstart, a brief look at Chestnut-sided, several Blackpolls, a Yellow-rump, and nice looks for some of a male Wilson's Warbler. We also had a very vocal Yellow-breasted Chat in the scope. Others of interest were a female Orchard Oriole, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher on nest. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, and Chris Marks.
