Birding by Boat on the Osprey in Cape May, NJ. A great group of BCDC members and friends joined this unique field trip aboard the Osprey for a morning of birding by boat (ticket purchase required). Some drove down to Cape May from as far away as Snyder County, PA to participate. Captain Bob and naturalist Patty did an excellent job of pointing out birds as the boat motored slowly through picturesque back-bay saltmarshes. Numerous terns, oystercatchers, sandpipers, waders, night-herons, and ospreys were a big highlight, along with close views of Clapper Rails and a surprise Black Scoter and Brown Pelican, too. Details on the eBird checklist. See below photos and highlights on this trip report by Adrian Binns.
