A rainy day prompted us to alter our usual approach to Higbee Beach. After a consulting with the group, we decided to go to Cape May Point State Park to see the very unusual-for-this-time-of-year, breeding plumage Snow Bunting which had been found the day before and was still present. From there, we toured the newly laid trail behind the Northwood Center to admire the Rose-breasted Grosbeaks who had been present all week on the feeders, and finally, returned to Higbee to take a walk around the first field and saw a perched Common Nighthawk! Leaders: David La Puma, Chris Marks and Catherine Busch.
