Cape May and Avalon are great places to see birds. They usually stop there on their way southbound. Warblers, shorebirds and the Monarch butterflies are migrating. There were a lot of warblers on the boardwalk trail near the lighthouse. I saw a beautiful Northern Parula and I believe I have a photo of a young Common Yellowthroat and a Red eye Vireo.

Maybe a Juvie Common Yellowthroat
The Mute Swan
In Avalon I saw the American Oystercatchers, Black Skimmers, Semipalmated Plovers, Sandpipers, Sanderlings, Pelicans, Snowy Egrets and the Great Egrets.

Bonjour
La anture est si belle elle est bien là, chez vous superbe les photos alors merci
Thank you for sharing your encounters with nature. It's wonderful to see.
Great shot on the wave breaking. Lovely bird pics too!
Great to capture the wave breaking over the wall. The birds are lovely and you know all their names so clever. I find birds so hard to photograph.
Wonderful watery shots, the swan photo is gorgeous and I loved all those other shore birds, as well as your Red-Eyed Vireo. what a very cute little bird he is. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Have a great day :)
Some of these birds I am familiar with, others do not frequent our part of the country.
Glad you enjoyed my Yosemite shots.
To see all that birds, like to look at them.
waves breaking over the wall - make me feel like going swimming.
You World also have a lot of water,

how wonderful. I started birding last year so I am still a beginner. Sadly I have no car so I don´t get very far. If you like to see some swedish birds I just started to post the ones I have on a blog.
