Completely overcast for much of the day though the sun peaked out in the mid afternoon. The wind was much stronger than was predicted last night Raptor Observations: Raptors? What raptors? Non-raptor Observations: Good looks at a pair of Long-billed Dowitchers that stopped briefly at Bunker Pond was the clear highlight of the day. Predictions: Who knows. A very weak front is predicted. There could be birds, there may be none, there will definitely be pie. ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
