It was a wonderfully cool morning as we explored Cape May Point. A handful of Yellow Warblers fed along the edge of the State Park, allowing us great views. A quiet walk down to the St. Mary's beach access, accompanied by a young Bald Eagle, afforded us looks at Sanderlings and Least Sandpipers working the jetty, a couple Palm Warblers running through the dunes, and a study of various gull species. The walk ended with an impressive raptor flight, including dozens of Sharp-shinned Hawks, Cooper's Hawks, a few Broad-winged Hawks and various falcons. Leaders: Margeaux Maerz, Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Steve Weis, Bert Hixon, Deb Payson, Barb Bassett, and Mary Watkins.
