Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, December 10th, 2016

Baltimore Orioles are late lingerers around Cape May this month; we had two feeding along the Red Trail on this morning's walk and several have been reported recently at the Rea Farm. We also saw both Red and White-breasted Nuthatches, neither of which are common at the Point but nice to compare when both are present. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Karl Lukens, & Kyle Chelius.
