when did you spot the marbled godwit?

there were additional experts on this special fall migration cruise (Birding by Boat on the Osprey in Cape May) who helped us find the two godwits hanging out with the oystercatchers ...

the snowy egret can be identified from anywhere based on the speed of looking for food!

the heron was at the usual spot on the pond; the first surprise was the second heron perched above on a tree!
And on the way back from the trail, the heron was still focused on lunch and an even bigger surprise - an egret on the tree!!

"Studies have revealed that 95% of migrating birds travel at night, alone, and without parental guidance, so the behaviour must be partly inherited. These birds use the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way ..." -

Ibis identified by the Cape May Bird Observatory naturalist

40 ibis flew over last friday, according to their stats (published at www.trektellen.org/count/view/1...)

A pair of ibis kept circling the large, perhaps trying to find a spot to rest

Was it the regular morning blue jay chorus or vulture sighting alerts?
