Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, September 10th, 2016

The "bink" of Bobolinks is a common sound of late summer and early fall in Cape May. High-flyers, they're often heard and not seen as they make their way to wintering grounds in South America, generally in Bolivia, Paraguay or Argentina after a multi-week stopover in Venezuela. Today's walk provided a great opportunity to listen to Bobolinks as they migrated overhead. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Karl Lukens, and Michael McCabe.
