As Winter fades into
Spring, Cape May birds are on the move. Our duck numbers are down though a nice
variety remains. Osprey numbers are slowly increasing, and Red-winged
Blackbirds are vigorously singing, but our winter White-throated Sparrows and
Red-breasted Nuthatches are still here. One nice surprise on this morning's
walk was the call of the Virginia Rail, in the same spot as last weekend.
