CMBO Cape May Point Walk- 4/2/08

Word came in from Karl Lukens as to the success of todays CMBO Cape May Point walk. Looks like despite some not so great conditions, good birds were seen by the trip participants.


"A cold and windy morning, but 4 people showed up for the CMBO Cape May Point Walk. Still good sea watching in spite of the wind, and a few varieties of ducks on the ponds. Land birds were hard to find, but a cedar full (well maybe 5-6) of Golden-crowned Kinglets, and 2 bluebirds were nice to see."
