A message from Captain David...
We began the 2008 cruise season with a 'Cruising for Loons' field trip for the Cape May Bird Observatory. 30 trip participants enjoyed sighting loons and various other water fowl before the migration to northern breeding grounds. Other trip highlights included a MARBLED GODWIT and the Sunset Lake heron rookery in full nesting mode. Nesting American Oystercatchers were plentiful and lingering brant were enjoyed. Many shorebirds were sighted and ospreys were incubating eggs on most nest platforms. I hope to see you aboard.
