There’s a steady trickle of migrant songbirds coming through Cape May these days and CHC WMA is a great place for them to spend some time on their southward journey. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher, Blue-winged Warbler, American Redstart and Eastern King bird were among the migrants we saw this morning, along with both Spotted and Solitary Sandpiper, Green Herons, and a Belted Kingfisher back by the big pond.
