Fall migration brings many birds through Cape May, NJ. The house where I am staying has a fantastic back yard with many feeders and also a great pond and waterfall feature.

Next stop was in Green Key at the Robert K Rees Park. What a great place! Apparently, it is a migrant magnet in the spring and other times of the year after storms. There are warblers found along the entrance in the trees. I saw many Palm and Pine Warblers along with a gorgeous Yellow-throated Warbler. We didn't find any birds along the beach front but that was probably the time of day and all of the people on the small beach. Then as we were leaving we saw White Ibis, Little Blue Heron and a Dunlin along the water's edge. We were also surprised to see a horseshoe crab on the same beach. |
