Raptor Observations: Extremely poor flight, primarily Osprey and largely far to the north. Non-raptor Observations: A quick look at a distant kingbird with a yellow belly was probably a Western Kingbird but was seen too briefly for definitive ID. There was an excellent Bobolink flight and a modest shorebird flight including a juv Stilt Sandpiper. Predictions: Likely extremely slow. The weather continues to fail to cooperate. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
