At the Forsythe NWR there were lots of Snow Geese, Canada Geese, Brant, Coots and Dunlin. I managed to miss most of the exotic birds at Cape May but I did see the long earred owls with some help. The CMBO speculation is that the Brown-Chested Martin is dead. There were reports on Monday of the White-Wing and Red Crossbills flying, Cave Swallows, the Western Tanager, the Western Kingbird , the Nashville Warbler and the MacGillvery's Warbler, but I managed to get the locations where they were spotted at the wrong time.
