Least Terns in Cape May

I had a great time at Cape May’s Autumn Weekend this year! As usual, it was full of birds, from raptors to shorebirds to songbirds, and I was able to get great looks at many species. As usual, the Myrtle Warblers were pretty much everywhere; one of my favorite experiences from the weekend was watching them flutter into the cedars by the hawkwatching platform and forage feet from my face like I wasn’t even there. It was clear that they only enjoyed it when there were a few people around; the one bad thing to me about the spot was that several innocent tourists came up to me and asked what I was photographing; more often than not, the answer would be “nothing now,” as the once-tame bird would get spooked and move on. It’s a good thing I had plenty of opportunities.

I've never seen such a huge collection of gingerbread houses in one place!

It's been a year since I was lucky enough to capture Comet NEOWISE over Cape May Point and the wreck of the S. S. Atlantus, a concrete ship built during World War I.

Messed around with this and changed BG. :)

Warblers are a challenge to ID at the best of times but at this time of the year in their fall plumage, giving a fleeting glance between leaves and branches they are even more challenging.
