Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, February 27th, 2016

There was a good variety of ducks on Bunker Pond including Northern Shovelers, Greater Scaup, Red-breasted and Hooded Mergansers, Green-winged Teal, Gadwall, American Wigeons, and Mallards. In the dunes, we had Savannah Sparrows and an Ipswich Sparrow. Over the ocean, we saw Surf and Black Scoters. As we walked through the Point, we saw Fox and White-throated Sparrows. Leaders: Chuck Slugg, Karl Lukens, & Steve Rodan.
