After being away for a bit I needed a Cape May birding fix, so that past couple of mornings we walked the Cape May Point State Park and the Meadows. Below are the lists from those quick jaunts.
Also of note, a Eurasian Collared-Dove still seems to be hanging around New England Road. We received a report of one bird hanging out in the back yard of a New England Road resident for about 10 minutes on 7/9. The dove apparently flew off to the south toward the woods. Given that I have not received direct permission to post the address, the area you want to keep in mind is between the Bay Springs Alpaca Farm and the alternate Higbee parking lot.
