Raptor Observations: A Northern Goshawk nearly slipped past us skirting low through the dunes but we finally added a Gos to our season total. Otherwise it was a complete dud Non-raptor Observations: Cave Swallows were landing on the platform and we had two Tundra Swan and the long-staying White-faced Ibis on Bunker Pond Predictions: The front that dragged through today should bring us birds tomorrow ======================================================================== Report submitted by Cameron Cox (Kumlieni@gmail.com) Cape May information may be found at: http://BirdCapeMay.org
