Chuck and Mary Jane Slugg send word of the finds from the Friday evening's walk at the TNC's Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge. Remember that for Cape May the fall migration is well under way. The Morning Flight has started and counts will be updated to View from the Field soon. David La Puma has started reporting on the Birding Forecast for the fall, helping us to know when exactly may be the best time to Bird Cape May (or even your own neck of the woods.) I know it seem odd but the Hawk Watch wilkl even be starting in just a few short days (13 for those of you keeping count.)
CMBO also offers a walk pretty much every day of the week at this point in the season. Many times more than one walk a day!! Check out the Naturalist Calendar for information on walks, programs and workshops that will be taking place this fall.
