The skies were overcast and there were periods of drizzle in the morning. Raptor Observations: IF yesterday was slow today was glacial. A Peregrine Falcon shooting offshore was about the most notable sighting. There was a tiny burst of birds when the wind shifted west but that was short-lived. Non-raptor Observations: A Common Gallinule, the continuing pair of male Eurasian Wigeon, and a really impressive showing of Parasitic Jaegers that got me through the day during a period where I was uncertain that I would make it. Predictions: There might be birds but probably not. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
