Cape May odds

Just a few more shots from Cape May, these from Sandra

The pits are still active, up to 70 Black-bellied Plovers still around but the numbers fluctuate. Long-billed Dowitcher yesterday, Hudsonian Godwit the day before. Duck are trickling in, the past two visits have added Ruddy Duck (4) and Redhead to the year list, I might hit 170 for the year there which is quite resonable. I also took a little sortie down Chemin Fief revealed eight Eastern Blubirds hanging around, which was nice.

Fat bloke bothering birds on a beach, even photoshop can’t work its magic on tha frame!

Looking from The Meadows beach towards Cape May lighthouse.

The hawk watch platform on a very busy day, looking up you saw a hawk from virtually dawn until  dusk.

Well maintained trails and boardwalks at Cape May State Park, pity you can get a push chair down them though.

The Golden Rod was very popular with the Monarchs.

Blue-faced Meadowhawk and Common Buckeye, a couple of the former and a lot of the latter.

Red Rambur’s Forktail.
