Had a great boat trip from Cape May into the Marsh up to Wildwood. Wonderful naturalist (from Audubon) & Captain as guides. I couldn't always get into position to get a photo, but had lots of good birds including a Tricolored heron & about 35 Red Knots (the only ones I saw). Will go again whenever I am down there and it is running. Nice close looks.
