Coops, Black Tern, Black-billed Cuckoo

Chris Hajduk reports Cooper's Hawks are nesting on the Cape May Coast Guard base (off limits to birders, Chris works there). These are likely NJ's southernmost nesting Coops, as we joked about them when they nested at Cape May Point State Park, a stone's throw from the southern tip of NJ. The state park birds seem not to be there this year, perhaps this is the same pair.

Sam Galick had the Black Tern in the meadows again today.

Michael O'Brien had a Black-billed Cuckoo calling along Stevens Street first thing this morning.
