Howdee all,
Wow…wow…I will say it one more time…Wow!
Yesterday we left Delaware and took the ferry from Lewes to Cape May.
We weren't sure where to bird so I asked the Birders via Chirptracker and Twitter.
Tom Reed aka TRbirds from twitter and David La Puma aka Woodcreeper , John Beetham aka Dendroica from Chirptracker and Twitter all chirped or tweeted back locations for us to go and I cant thank them enough.
They all felt that one particular impoundment in Heislerville @ high tide would be great…and it was!
Thanks guys!
Do you see birds?
I do…
Allot of birds!
Walk a little closer…
Whoops..
You scared them..be quiet..don't get sooo excited!
Ok ..that's better…so what do you see?
Some great breeding plumage!

We saw a life bird…A rare..but regular migrant to the east coast.
Here he is…ok not a close-up ..but what do you expect from a 20x point and shoot?

Just as beautiful…lighter in color.
One more life bird..who's photo I did not get.
