Photo Walks with Mike Hannisian - Saturday, September 27th, 2014

This week's CMBO Saturday Photo Walk at Cape May Point SP took place between cold fronts. As a result, the number of birds was below what we hope for, but other subjects were present in good numbers. While butterfly numbers have been low this summer, they have recently increased and many of this week's subjects were butterflies. These included Eastern Comma, Mourning Cloak, and Red Admiral. Also present were dragonflies such as the Twelve-spotted Skimmer. Finally, while bird numbers were low, birds were not absent, including Wild Turkey. Next week will be our first Saturday Photo Walk in October, so more and varied subjects are likely to be present.
