Today was more about packing and shopping than birding. Tomorrow I head out for a few days of surveys off the Delmarva Peninsula.
As a result, expect no work on drawings of Pine Warblers, and no erudite elucidations on the bird life of Cape May for the next week or so, at least not from this Cusimaniac.
Today, between jaunts to CVS and the laundromat, I did however find three very dapper olive bespangled with white breeding plumaged Solitary Sandpipers (Not so solitary after all, are we, Eh?) and a first "summer" Bonaparte's Gull on a recently filled rain-pool at the Beanery. First Solitaries I've seen this year, and handsome little Tringines they are. Unusual spot for a Boanparte's too, and interesting to see him pulling up earthworms near the recently mulched and flooded cherry saplings.
If you don't see a post within a week, just assume we needed a bigger boat, and Hooper is now shark-chow....
