Participants on today's walk at the Rea Farm will probably never forget it. It rained, it poured, it drizzled. But the birds were all around, just looking a little darker - and a lot wetter - than usual. The Red-shouldered Hawk that perched atop a phone pole seemed unfazed. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was no more camouflaged than usual - which is to say it was very well camouflaged. Most apparent, however, was the influx of Yellow-rumped Warblers, which were everywhere. During breeding season, Yellow-rumps are the most abundant wood warbler in Canada; today they were the most abundant warbler in Cape May. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, and Deb Payson.
