Birds are definitely on the move as migration starts to intensify. Hundreds of Northern Gannets were diving in the rips off Cape May Point, many of the ducks have already left for their breeding grounds and Pine Warblers are busily feeding in the pines. Field Sparrows are perched up and singing and we even had dolphins frolicking right offshore.
