The Point was beautiful in a blanket of fresh snow this morning. Yellow-rumped Warblers and White Throated Sparrows were everywhere and finally, the long-awaited Fox Sparrows showed up, scratching in the leafy edges, first-of-season birds for most of us. Purple Sandpipers have also arrived as regulars on the jetties and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers were hanging out at the Circle, calling frequently. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Michael McCabe

Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, December 2nd, 2017
The late-lingering Green Heron at Lily Lake and the Blue-headed Vireo at the State Park were surprises on today's walk. The Red-breasted Nuthatches, quietly 'enking' in the dune pines, were more seasonal and most welcome since they've been scarce so far this year.
