Cape Henlopen Field Trip Summary, Apr 22, 2015

For our OLLI class field trip today, both the weather and the birds cooperated. We saw 46 species, but best of all we saw some really good birds, really well. Highlights were 3 Piping Plover, which we had missed on our first field trip to Cape Henlopen, an American Oystercatcher up close, and my top bird, a Peregrine Falcon, incredibly close and with multiple views from several locations.

Now many thanks to John Long for getting excellent pictures of the Peregrine Falcon and American Oystercatcher, plus a very nice pic of the singing Field Sparrow by the Point parking lot.



Our next field trip will be primarily for woodland migrants...during the peak of spring migration.
