Tonight's Sunset at the Meadows walk was a little bit of a surprise. Who would expect that in early June in Cape May you would need a fleece for this walk, but we did. It really wasn't really cold, just a cool ocean breeze, one that we will be begging for in a few weeks. We had great looks at most of the birds along the way, Common Yellowthroats, Least Terns, and American Oystercatchers, but the highlight for many was watching the Black Skimmers skimming across a mirror-like pond which was reflecting a beautiful sunset. What a great night to be out! Leaders: Warren Cairo & Michael McCabe.
