Driving rain and 30 mph winds didn't stop the intrepid birders who showed up for this afternoon's Meadows walk. The Chimney Swifts were flying low and a decent selection of shorebirds seemed unfazed by the inclement weather, among them a Stilt Sandpiper. By the end of the walk the wind had died down and a group of warblers, including Blackpoll, Black-and-White, Magnolia, Common Yellowthroat, and Yellow were feeding and calling busily along the path edges. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Warren Cairo, and Alan Mart.

Higbee Beach Bird Walk - Friday, May 16th, 2014
The threat of rain didn't put off our walk participants and we even ended up splitting into two groups! Our group headed straight for the beach and enjoyed a nice show of Bottlenose Dolphins and a light passage of terns and shorebirds. Two Bald Eagles brightened our morning and seemed to be keeping an eye on hunting Ospreys. Walking north to the canal we headed back via Higbee Dike and found a nice selection of shorebirds on the impoundments, including some close up Least Sandpipers and Semipalmated Plovers. The fields were rather quiet but Indigo Buntings showed well on the trails and Orchard Orioles serenaded our route. The rain almost held off and only just snuck in for the last ten minutes or so. Group 1 - Leaders: Mike Crewe, Catherine Busch, and Chris Marks.

Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, May 14th, 2014
Although it was a cold and misty morning, we did have some good birding. We found little pockets of birds including Blackpoll, Black-throated Blue, Black-and-white, Magnolia, Pine, and Yellow Warblers, Northern Parula, Yellow-breasted Chat, Red-eyed Vireo, and Scarlet Tanager. Interestingly, we did see and hear at least two or three Yellow-throated Warblers, one of which was determined to be of the albilora sub-species. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Megan Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, Warren Cairo, and Chris Marks.

Shorebirds at Heislerville with Mike Crewe - Tuesday, May 13th, 2014
Our Tuesday visit to Heislerville this week could barely have been more dramatic. A great sea of Short-billed Dowitchers, Dunlin and Semipalmated Sandpipers was studded with Red Knots, Black-bellied Plovers and Semipalmated Plovers. Scattered in deeper water further out, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs fed in small flotillas.
Dramatic scenes were created by a passing Peregrine, Black-crowned Night Herons and Double-crested Cormorants could be watched as they attended to nesting duties and our experience was enriched by our visit to the New Jersey Audubon Semipalmated Sandpiper team who gave us the latest news on their work.
As if this wasn’t enough, we topped it all off with close encounters of Ruddy Turnstones and Bonaparte’s Gulls feeding at East Point Lighthouse. All in all, a fabulous spectacle – join us on our next visit!! Leaders: Mike Crewe, Warren Cairo, & Megan Crewe.

Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, May 12th, 2014
A nice start to a nice day, with perched and singing Blue Grosbeak and Orchard Oriole. Many Common Yellowthroats singing and several seen well including a pair. Several American Oystercatchers are nesting on the beach, a Common Loon in breeding plumage, and a late Red-throated Loon off shore. Waders included an adult Little Blue Heron, and Glossy Ibis. Lots of shorebirds with the water level going down. Those seen were Short-billed Dowitchers, Semipalmated Plover and Sandpipers, Least Sandpipers, and both Yellowlegs. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, & Janet Crawford.

Higbee Beach Bird Walk - Friday, May 9th, 2014
A foggy start to the Higbee Beach walk meant we had something of a slow start, but singing Field Sparrows and Yellow-breasted Chat entertained us until the weather improved. A fly-over Yellow-headed Blackbird was an all-too-brief highlight, but warblers were fun too, with nice views of Black-and-white and Blackpoll Warblers, and Northern Parulas. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, Kathy Horn, Steve Weis, and Warren Cairo.

Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, May 7th, 2014
A few interesting waders were seen including a brief look at a Little Blue Heron, two Green Herons, and several Great Egrets. Along the beach we had many swallows with at least one Bank Swallow with the Northern Rough-wings, Tree, and Barns. We also had a Lesser Black-backed Gull, three Least Sandpipers, and several Least Terns. A couple of Piping Plovers were on the beach looking like a pair, as well as five American Oystercatchers (one on nest). Smaller birds of interest were House Wren, Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Common Yellowthroats, Pine and Yellow-rumped Warblers. A pair of Blue Grosbeaks and Orchard Orioles sang for us. Two female Indigo Buntings, and a Scarlet Tanager were also nice to see. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, and Chris Marks.

Shorebirds at Heislerville with Mike Crewe - Tuesday, May 6th, 2014
Heislerville was still a little full of water today but that didn't stop us enjoying some good birding. We started by admiring the breeding colony of Double-crested Cormorants, which had a pair of Great Blue Herons and several Black-crowned Night Herons mixed in. Close encounters were enjoyed with Pectoral, Least and Semipalmated Sandpipers, Short-billed Dowitchers, Black Skimmers and a whole host of other birds, while many Clapper Rails called but remained hidden from view. At East Point, a surprisingly high number of Bonaparte's Gulls was still present and we enjoyed some tussling, young Bald Eagles. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Shaun Bamford, and Nancy Watson.

EZ Birding at Cape May Point - Tuesday, May 6th, 2014
An enthusiastic group of new birders enjoyed today's walk through the state park. Highlights were a male Scarlet Tanager which perched obligingly for the group, a late Hermit Thrush in full view, and a lingering pair of Blue Teal. On the beach, a pair of American Oystercatcher appeared to be tending their nest. A large kettle of raptors also was of interest to all. Leaders: Chris Marks, Catherine Busch, Chuck Slugg, Lynne Breslow, and Nancy Watson.

Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, May 5th, 2014
A cool and very breezy morning. We started off well with a singing Blue Grosbeak in the parking lot. Waders included several Great Egrets, at least seven Snowy Egrets, a fly-over Cattle Egret, and a fly-by flock of Glossy Ibis. There appears to be two American Oystercatchers on nest on the beach. Other interesting birds were two Least Terns, four Eastern Kingbirds coming off the water, and lots of Barn and Tree Swallows. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Catherine Busch, and Carrie Bell.

A comfortable morning and some good birds including good looks at three Glossy Ibis, a Killdeer on nest, a Greater Yellowlegs, and two Wilson's Snipe. Also of note was a Red-bellied Woodpecker hanging around, and entering a new tree hole. Two Prothonotary Warblers were singing, but only a few got a glimpse of it. We also had good looks at Common Yellowthroats, Prairie Warbler, two Indigo Buntings, and an Orchard Oriole. An interesting sighting was a large Snapping Turtle well away from water. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Catherine Busch, and Chris Hajduk.

Higbee Beach Bird Walk - Friday, April 25th, 2014
A slightly more spritely Higbee Beach this week produced Purple Sandpiper and a flight of 10 Willets over the bay, a close encounter with a fish-carrying Bald Eagle and an increase in the number of Field Sparrows in song. Newly arrived migrants included Black-and-white and Prairie Warblers, Blue-headed Vireo and at least 10 Hermit Thrushes. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, and Catherine Busch.

Birding Cape May Point - Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014
A cold and very windy (20-30 mph) morning made birding somewhat difficult. We did manage to find a nice pair of Blue-winged Teal, and offshore numerous Northern Gannets. Lots of swallows were about, mostly Barn, Tree, a few Northern Rough-winged among Purple Martins. We also had a flyover Willet. The woods contained singing House and Carolina Wrens, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, a Blue-headed Vireo, as well as Common Yellowthroat, and Palm, Pine, Prairie, and Yellow-rumped Warblers. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Megan Crewe, Karl Lukens, Steve Weis, and Chris Marks.

Birding the Meadows with Pete Dunne - Monday, April 21st, 2014
Still cold for an April morning, but we had a few different ducks including two each Blue-winged and Green-winged Teal, and Northern Shoveler. Offshore, we had numerous Northern Gannets, Red-throated Loons, and scoters. On the beach there were at least three pair of American Oystercatchers. Common Yellowthroats were singing in several areas and one or two Marsh Wrens sang loudly and close by the trail. Overhead were Tree, Barn, Northern Rough-winged Swallows, and Purple Martins as well as two Boat-tailed Grackles. Leaders: Pete Dunne, Karl Lukens, Chuck Slugg, Steve Weis, Janet Crawford, Mark & Lynn Breslow.

Cox Hall Creek Bird Walk - Sunday, April 20th, 2014
Though the wind was strong enough to keep many birds hunkered down at Cox Hall Creek WMA this morning, there was ample opportunity to bird by ear. A vocalizing Yellow-throated Warbler foraged high in a pine close to a silent Pine Warbler. In other areas, Pine Warblers trilled softly compared to the louder, longer songs of the many Chipping Sparrows. A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker whirred softly as it dove into a cavity and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers challenged the group to hear their airy buzzes. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Cindy & Shaun Bamford.

Spring Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, April 19th, 2014
Still early for most migrants but we did have a good flyover of waders including Great Blue Heron, Great and Snowy Egrets, Green and Tricolored Herons and 4 perched Black-Crowned Night-Herons. Warblers are still not here in numbers, but there were numerous Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and Yellow-rumped Warbler, the latter singing, and also a Common Yellowthroat. Leaders: Karl Lukens, Kathy & Roger Horn, Catherine Busch, and Nancy Watson.
