Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, January 27th, 2018
The adult Bald Eagle that landed atop a nearby cedar tree
seemed unperturbed by the harassing calls and dives of a group of American
Crows. Declared our national emblem by Congress in 1782, we had plenty of time
to observe its majestic flight and posture. It's a busy time of year for our
local Bald Eagles. Because of their size, it takes months for them to raise and
fledge young. As January progresses into February, they'll be repairing old
nests and starting to lay eggs. The Cumberland County Winter Eagle Festival,
scheduled for February 3rd up in Mauricetown, is a great place to see eagles in
flight and at their nests. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Kyle Chelius,

Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, January 20th, 2018
Open water is gradually returning to the frozen ponds and the duck diversity is increasing once again. Green-winged Teal have been scarce these last few weeks but we found one perched on the ice on Lake Lily, close to the continuing Redheads. We also had a few flocks of Cedar Waxwings. Waxwing flocks are nomadic in the winter, moving to areas where the sugary fruits they depend on for sustenance are readily available. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Kyle Chelius, Michael McCabe

Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, January 13th, 2018
It's been a tough couple of weeks for many of
our birds but birds are surprisingly hardy. Even so, we were surprised to see a
tree swallow - a bird with a fairly heavy dependence on insects, though eating
some berries, as well - flying over the water. Ducks are to be found wherever
there's open water and Lily Lake is currently one of those places. A species
that seems particularly abundant this winter is Yellow-rumped Warbler and there
were many of those flitting about the streets of Cape May Point this morning,
always making their presence known by their frequent flat chips. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Michael McCabe, Kyle Chelius

KICK OFF YOUR YEAR LIST - January 1, 2018
We had a great time starting off the New Year with a day full of birding. Over 20 hardy souls braved the wind and cold to record 79 species across Cape May County, with stops at Cape May Point State Park, Sunset Ave. Wastewater Treatment Plant, Lake Champlain, Cox Hall Creek WMA, Sunset Lake, Nummy Island, and Stone Harbor Point. There were many highlights, including Summer Tanager and Snowy Owl on the same day, and full scope views of a Virginia Rail. Full list of species below.

Birding Cape May Point - Saturday, December 9th, 2017
The Point was beautiful in a blanket of fresh snow this morning. Yellow-rumped Warblers and White Throated Sparrows were everywhere and finally, the long-awaited Fox Sparrows showed up, scratching in the leafy edges, first-of-season birds for most of us. Purple Sandpipers have also arrived as regulars on the jetties and Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers were hanging out at the Circle, calling frequently. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Michael McCabe

The late-lingering Green Heron at Lily Lake and the Blue-headed Vireo at the State Park were surprises on today's walk. The Red-breasted Nuthatches, quietly 'enking' in the dune pines, were more seasonal and most welcome since they've been scarce so far this year.

Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, November 18th, 2017
A murmuration of hundreds of starlings kept us enthralled as we walked the back fields of the Beanery. The property has a lot of great habitat for sparrows, as evidenced by the eight species we saw throughout the walk, with the highlight being three Clay-colored Sparrows moving between the field and hedgerow and providing great, long looks. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, and Karl Lukens.

Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, November 12th, 2017
The WMA was alive with berry-feasting birds this morning. Especially vibrant among the cedars and rose hips were Cedar Waxwings, a flock of Eastern Bluebirds and a male Purple Finch. A mixed blackbird flock included three Rusty Blackbirds, always good to see, and document in eBird, because of their drastic population decline over the last 15 years. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Janet Crawford, Joe Demko, Karen Thompson, and Bill Boyle.

Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm - Saturday, November 11th, 2017
Though the male Wood Ducks in the pond were stunning and the Savannah Sparrows along the back hedgerow were quite handsome, they couldn't compete with the young Golden Eagle that came soaring overhead. It really was a day for large high-flying birds as there were kettles of Black and Turkey Vultures, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks and two Bald Eagles. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Kyle Chelius, Karl Lukens, and Michael McCabe.

Above Par Birding at Cox Hall Creek WMA - Sunday, November 5th, 2017
It's been a long time since we've seen so many Eastern Bluebirds at CHC WMA. Of course, these were migrants but it was great to hear and see them several times during our morning's walk. A lot of sparrows - Field, Song, Savannah, White-throated, and Swamp, along with Eastern Towhee - were feasting in the seedy habitat along with both Eastern(yellow) and Western (brown) Palm Warblers. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Lynn Pollard, Dave Pollard, Karen Thompson, and Bill Boyle.

Fall Migrants at The Rea Farm - Saturday, November 4th, 2017
A Baltimore Oriole was a good start to this morning's walk but was perhaps outdone by the American White Pelican circling within a kettle of vultures at the very end. An Eastern Phoebe called frequently along a back hedgerow, undeterred by the presence of the adult Cooper's Hawk that posed for quite awhile and kept the sparrows hidden. Bluebirds and a pipit called overhead and we saw a late-lingering Osprey. Leaders: Kathy Horn, Roger Horn, Deb Payson, Karl Lukens & Barb Bassett.
