And we even had some luck doing high-speed birding: at mile marker 30 on the way down our FOY Northern Flicker flew across and going home, at MM 11, a Belted Kingfisher surprised us, flashing by our windshield.
For the day we had 39 species--a fairly spare list for Cape May County, but a lot of quality was in the mix.
