CMBO Beanery walk-10/6/07 & Ruff pic

Karl and Judy Lukens sent me the list below for this morning's CMBO Beanery walk. Karl also shared this picture he took of the Ruff that visited Bunker pond. FYI- the Ruff was seen flying off with the group of Lesser yellowlegs and to my knowledge is no longer at the Cape May Point State Park. Thanks for the photo Karl!

"Slow going on a calm, foggy morning at the Beanery. A Kestrel, a Merlin, and a couple of E. Phoebes kept us interested. Still Flickers moving about, several Savannah Sparrows in the back field, and a female type Blue Grosbeak were also noteworthy."
