A couple of CMBO walks

Below are lists from yesterday evening's CMBO Sunset Birding at Stone Harbor and this morning's CMBO Birding Cape May Point walk. All in all, I'd say that walk participants have seen some good birds in the last few days.


"CMBO Walk at Cape May Point . The walk through the state park was good for
ducks, waders, raptors and Yellow-rumps!!. Two notes of interest were a
fly-over group of 5 Glossy Ibis which haven't been seen as of late, and a
lone Lesser Black-backed Gull on the beach."

Notes: We had a beautiful October evening for a bird walk, with lots of good
birds including Piping Plovers (still). Other highlights were good numbers of
Monarchs on the seaside goldenrod, a full moon and wonderful sunset, and a
Peregrine that "swept" the salt marsh clean of shorebirds.
