Southeast Winds and fog. Enough said. In fact, the fog early on was so thick we couldn't even see Delaware Bay from the Dike. It was a very slow day, with little excitement in the way of Passerines (although singles of Blackpoll Warbler and Ruby-crowned Kinglet did perch very cooperatively at the dike). A flyby juvenile Little Blue Heron was the species highlight of the morning.
