A perfect day unless you were a bird with an intention of migrating Raptor Observations: A pitiful trickle of Osprey and Peregrines moved through punctuated by a few other raptors and falcons. Non-raptor Observations: The Tree Swallows were milling in impressive flocks of thousands otherwise it was deader than the dumb guy in a horror flick. Predictions: A small front is predicted to move through. It should be at least a small improvement over today's monotony. Our Big Sit begins at midnight so we cross our fingers for birds. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
