Title: Cape May

Hi David,

The Cape May was located just north-west of Colborne Lodge near the Howard monument (location B on the map).  At one point the bird was in the Chestnut tree that overhangs the fence on the west side of the monument.  The bird ended up flying south-east over the lodge and I did not relocate it.
