The Garrett Family
Preserve, the 180-acre Nature Conservancy property off Wilson Street in West
Cape May, is a new addition to our weekly spring walks. A lot of the newly
arrived local breeders are in - we had five displaying Chats, multiple calling
White-eyed Vireos, Common Yellow-throats, Indigo Buntings and a singing Prairie
Warbler. A Red-headed Woodpecker perched long enough for good views and eight
Osprey were working the adjoining Cape Island Creek marsh. Orchard Orioles were
really cooperative, too, allowing us to compare plumages of adult males,
2nd-year males and females.
