It's been a tough couple of weeks for many of
our birds but birds are surprisingly hardy. Even so, we were surprised to see a
tree swallow - a bird with a fairly heavy dependence on insects, though eating
some berries, as well - flying over the water. Ducks are to be found wherever
there's open water and Lily Lake is currently one of those places. A species
that seems particularly abundant this winter is Yellow-rumped Warbler and there
were many of those flitting about the streets of Cape May Point this morning,
always making their presence known by their frequent flat chips. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Michael McCabe, Kyle Chelius
