On Oct 21, 2021, we birded Cape Henlopen State Park (CHSP) from 10 to 11:30 am. We began at the Nature Center, where we observed Red-breasted Nuthatch, Yellow-rumped Warbler, House Finch, and Mourning Dove. From there we went to the Point parking lot where we had several Turkey Vultures, and two Osprey diving for fish inside the point. We also had close scope views of a cooperative Herring Gull. From the Point parking lot we went to Herring Point overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and had good views of several Lesser Black-backed Gulls and could clearly see their yellow legs through the telescope. We also observed a small flock of Sanderlings feeding on the waters edge. Our total species count was 14 species. A calm, warm day and a high tide, definitely kept the species number down.
As a reminder, we meet next Thur, Oct 28, at the Prime Hook NWR visitor center at 9 am. By 6 am on the 28th, I will post on this blog if there are any changes to that due to bad weather.
