CMBO Sunset Birding at the Meadows......make that Cape May Point State Park walk

Below is a note from Karl and Judy Lukens about the CMBO Sunset Birding at the Meadows walk which is held on Friday evenings.

"Walk moved to the CM State Park from the (closed) TNC SCMM ("Meadows"). Beautiful evening with good shore bird and duck variety. Fly by Caspian and multiple Royal Terns, but smaller terns were scarce. "
