CMBO Birding Cape May Point walk- 9/3/08

The CMBO Cape May Point walk this morning seemed to find a good number of birds in addition to a good variety of species.  Remember to check the Naturalist Calendar for CMBO walks (there is at least one walk daily through the fall), pre-registration programs and workshops!

"CMBO Cape May Point Walk. So many shorebirds, waders, and land birds that
the 2 hour walk took 2 3/4 hrs. The number of herons and egrets on Bunker
Pond was amazing including 9 Tricolored Herons!! Also a Caspian Tern and 2
brown Pelicans circled the pond."
