Skies were nearly clear all day. Raptor Observations: I would have loved to observe raptors but there were few raptors available for observation. Non-raptor Observations: Tons of ducks on the pond including the long-staying Eurasian Wigeon. Predictions: Dire. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
