You have reached the Cape May Birding Hotline, a service of New Jersey
Audubon Society’s Cape May Bird Observatory. This week’s message was
prepared on Monday June 19. The roster this week includes sightings

and ROSEATE TERN.

A SANDHILL CRANE has been seen frequenting the Beaver Swamp WMA at
Beaver Dam Rd. in the last week. The last report of this bird was on

One MISSISSIPPI KITE was seen from the Beanery on 6/15.

Three LEAST BITTERNS were reported on 6/12 from the Meadows. Two

At least three ROSEATE TERNS were seen this morning, 6/19, from the
St. Mary’s jetty area. Along with these birds were two SANDWICH
TERNS. Also, a SANDWICH TERN was reported from Stone Harbor Point on
