I spent this past Sunday and Monday birding Cape May and Avalon, NJ. At the Avalon seawatch I enjoy watching the waves breaking over the wall.
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.
