Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, August 11th, 2018


A Common Yellow-throat and a Yellow Warbler gave us uncommonly good looks on this morning's walk, even allowing for scope viewing. The terns are starting to build up on the beaches between feeding times, with good numbers of Common, Forster's, Least and Royal Terns. Tis the season to look for tern rarities!
