Jetty's of Cape May Point




When I woke up today I saw that the Northern Gannets were moving down the Delaware Bay and around Cape May Point.  After a quick bite to eat I headed over to the Alexander Street jetty to watch the gannets.  They were flying in groups with some flying right over my head. They winter on the ocean in the southern areas of the US and migrate to Quebec, Great Britian and Ireland for breeding on cliffs overlooking the ocean.


Then it was off to St Pete's jetty where there were lots of varieties of gulls, Ruddy Turnstones, American Oystercatchers with dolphins surfacing and swimming along in the waves.
