Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, September 21st, 2016

We had a lovely morning exploring Cape May Point. Two Parasitic Jaegers gave us quite the show in the rips and a large flock of Palm Warblers moving down the dunes actively feeding gave the group “WOW” moments.  Leaders:  Chris Marks, Mary Watkins, and Kirsten Fuller.
