A windy blustery walk today at Cape Point State Park. The red trail was a led us to lighthouse pond. There we were able to view Gadwall, Ring-necked Duck and Hooded Mergansers well. As we were near the end of the trail, we came across a sunny and protected area of Wax Myrtle and Sweetgum trees. The Carolina Chickadees and Yellow-rumped Warblers had collected there feeding on the balls and berries. They seemed to be frolicking about while checking every cluster of berries.
