Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, June 28th, 2014

This morning's walk provided the opportunity to study a hatch-year Pine Warbler that fed obligingly above our heads for several minutes. Lacking any hint of yellow, this can be a difficult bird to identify. But it was the same size and shape as the nearby adult male, relatively long-tailed and showing the broken eye-ring and low-contrast wing bars characteristic of the species. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Karl Lukens & Cindy Bamford.
