Cape May Travel Trip
Back to All Albums
Alec Humann led a BOS field trip to Cape May, New Jersey in October, 2016. Including Alec, there were sixteen people in attendance and we all had a great time! I personally saw 126 different species on the trip - wow!
Here are some of the photos from the trip.
Day 1 - before any of the official happenings, I went to the Hawk watch. I was delighted to see a Cattle Egret there - in a conifer, no less!
