CMBO Cape May Point State Park Walk- 6/9/08

 Karl and Judy Lukens, along with Tom Parsons seem to have had a good morning of summer birding at the Cape May Point State Park.  For more information on the CMBO walks this summer, check out the Naturalist Calendar. 

"CMBO Walk at the Point. During the walk through the State Park and along the
plover ponds we managed to see several flocks of shore birds on the move,
Least Sandpipers, both Yellowlegs, and Short-billed Dowitchers, along with
resident Oystercatchers, and Piping Plovers. The woodland birds of interest
were Indigo Bunting, White-eyed Vireo, Eastern Kingbird, and Orchard Oriole."
