Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, January 10th, 2015

Today’s walk was a little on the brisk side, nonetheless, those of us who braved the wind and cold were rewarded with some nice birds. Most of the ponds were frozen over to the point there were people playing hockey on Lighthouse Pond. We had a Brown Thrasher feeding near us and it seems that because of the cold, his focus was more on food than us. We had good looks at an Orange-crowned Warbler near the entrance to the State Park.  All in all, a good morning of birding. Leaders: Warren Cairo, Steve Weis, and Michael McCabe.
