Huge thanks to all my teammates - Marc Chelemer, Ken Walsh and especially to team captain Nick Kontonicolas who since 2006 has brought together a team in various guises competing in the different categories of the World Series of Birding. There has been an emphasis on the full state run, but it has not taken the team 22 years to win as being reported on t'internet.
It was good to have coverage from the National Audubon Society - Andrew Del-Colle with us throughout the day and photographer Camilla Cerea for the first half. More on the World Series in due course...
Some birding highlights post World Series at Cape May Point include:
Blackpoll Warblers everywhere alongside American Redstarts and Magnolia Warblers, with the Swainson's Warbler still in situ.
A good selection of other Warblers including sightings of Cape May, Blackburnian and Bay-breasted varieties.
A Glaucous Gull by the shore, a few Rose-breasted Grosbeaks popping up out of nowhere and a couple of Mississippi Kites overhead.
A couple of smart Royal Terns flying by Coral Avenue particularly noteworthy.
