Weather: Dense
fog dominated the first half of the day, with gradual clearing and plenty of
sun (temps reaching well into the 80s) during the afternoon. Scattered
thunderstorms also formed during the afternoon, and while most stayed well
inland, one affected the northwest corner of the peninsula. Winds were again
light from the east/southeast and a trace of rainfall was recorded at West Cape
May.
Migration counts: Morning Flight (0623-0838), Hawkwatch (0700-1700)
Birding summary: A predictably quiet day, but a few highlights included 2 Gull-billed
Terns that spent time around Cape May Pt. State Park, a Sora at the South Cape May Meadows, fair numbers of songbird
migrants along the State Park trails, a small pulse of Osprey and Peregrines that moved past Cape May Point during the mid-afternoon, and several Common
Nighthawks around Cape Island during the evening.
