Mid-May, we left the warbler-adorned woods of eastern Pennsylvania and visited Cape May for a couple of days. Although passerine variety and numbers seemed (surprisingly) less than inland, there were good birds around. At South Cape May Meadows, I saw—among others— a single breeding plumaged Red Knot amidst various Short-billed Dowitchers, Semipalmated, Solitary and and Least Sandpipers, Killdeer, 3 Blue-winged Teal, a few Glossy Ibises, (heard) White-eyed Vireo, Indigo Bunting and Parula and Prairie Warbler, some Yellowthroats, and a Yellow-breasted Chat.
