I won't go into enormous detail, but the Brown-chested Martin in Cape
May was a lovely, lovely bird on Monday. We didn't think anything
would top it, but this morning, during a quick stop at Bombay Hook on
the way home, we got great looks at a first-winter Franklin's Gull
feeding rather unconcernedly on grasshoppers along the road running
alongside Shearness Pool. We watched the bird for half an hour or
so and only left when we ran out of film! I am keeping my fingers
crossed that we got reasonable photos.
Our weekend started Saturday morning with Les Eastman at the Lapidum
boat launch area and ended this morning with the Franklin's Gull.
All told we tallied about 110 species in three states.
Do I really gotta go back to WORK tomorrow?????
