14 Hours at the Point (Part 8)

Laughing Gulls lounging on the beach in Cape May.

This Gull waits until the very last second to unveil its landing gear – its feet are still tucked warmly and aerodynamically into its feathers.

Thanks for following along. I saw so many wonderful things in such a short time that I’m planning a return visit to Cape May during the peak of migration next year. I’ll stay a week next time instead of barely two days.
I can understand your wanting to stay for a week next time. I can hardly believe all these wonderful pictures came from less than two days of bird watching. I imagine it was hard to tear yourself away when it was time to leave. Thank you for the vicarious vacation it’s been to see Cape May through your photos.
