I have signed up to be a birding pal and was contacted by Mike several weeks ago about going out with him while he was in town. We met this morning at 7AM and birded all day. We started out at Higbee Beach, went to Alexander Avenue Beach, Cox Hall Creek WMA, Avalon Seawall, Avalon Jetty, Stone Harbor Point and ended up on Nummy Island. It was a very tiring but fulfilling day. We also stopped at CMP State Park midday for the hawk banding demonstration. Mike had 2 new life birds plus 16 species of birds for his trip list along with 4 butterfly species and a life butterfly. The Best looks we had were of Golden-crowned Kinglets at point blank range in Cox Hall Creek.
