Birding on Monday continued in the afternoon in and around Cape May. Highlights were Marbled Godwit near Stone Harbor, and an guesstimated two or three hundred American Oystercatchers, but both species were distant through the scope.
Sanderlings were chasing wave on the Stone Harbor beaches
Nothing unusual about this
Ring-billed Gull, but I love the way the wind has ruffled its feathers.
The ponds and wetlands around the state park were full of ducks - Black Duck, Gadwall, Northern Pintail, Green-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Mallard, and
American Widgeon.
Have to take time once in a while to just enjoy the place.
Tuesday was a foul day, cold, windy, and rainy. I made a couple of brief excursions, including visiting the Cape May beach where a flock of
Black Skimmers were roosting.

Enjoying all the waterfowl and shorebirds. Unfortunately, I live in the only county in the Land Of 10,000 lakes without a lake!
