I have taken 3 trips on the Skimmer Salt Marsh Safari located in Cape May, NJ during June. The boat is a 40 ft twin hull pontoon design which makes for smooth sailing through the salt marsh and bay bays of Cape May County. Two of my trips were at 6PM and one was the 1:30PM trip. I like the evening cruises for the light as it makes for better photography. The first trip we saw lots of Osprey, Common Terns, Whimbrel, Black-bellied Plovers, Ruddy Turnstones and gulls of several species. When we got to the Rookery there were hundreds of Great Egrets and Black-crowned Night-Herons plus American Bittern. New birds for me were an American Bittern (no pictures) and Black-crowned Night-Herons. Captains Ed and Ginny make the trip really enjoyable, teach you about nature and the birds.

Your bird pictures are outstanding.
much more interesting then our lake birds.
we have the usual run of the mill at the feeders.
even the caterpillars are interestingly marked.
take care and enjoy the summer weather even if it is hot. too soon it is too cold again. Ann
