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.
