Cape May Point Hawkwatch

Yesterday was an amazing day on the hawkwatch platform in the Point. The birds were flying fast and furiously. I arrived in the afternoon and the place was rocking. The Sharpies, Coop's, Broad-wing's Merlin and Kestrel's were abundant. I was there when the Eurasian-collared Dove came through not once but twice. There were warblers off the platform in the trees. A good number of Monarch were flying past the platform also. Total birds counted 4754 with 64 species.
