Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, March 5th, 2016

Cold with some wind; partly sunny. There was a good mix of ducks on Bunker Pond. As we walked through the Point, we found many House Finches, a Hermit Thrush, some White-throated Sparrows, and the usual mix of House Sparrows and Starlings. One Red-tailed Hawk flew over Lighthouse Pond where we found a Belted Kingfisher. Leaders: Chuck Slugg & Karl Lukens.
