Although
the elusive female Evening Grosbeak that seems to be hanging around Cape May
Point did not show up for us today, other birds were quite cooperative. A
Hermit Thrush gave us views of all sides and both White- and Red-breasted
Nuthatches were busy at backyard feeders. Purple Finches gave us an opportunity
to study both males, in their lovely raspberry, and females with their bold eyebrows.
As expected for this time of year, there are a good variety and number of ducks
on the State Park ponds but a flock of Greater Yellowlegs was a bit of a
surprise. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Michael McCabe
