A
hawkwatch has been conducted at Cape May Point State Park every year since 1976
- yes, we're celebrating the 40th Anniversary (check out all the exciting happenings at the Cape May Fall Festival)!! But, it's so much more than just
a great hawkwatch. It's the social hub of the Cape May birding scene, a source
for birding and local information, and one of the best sites in Cape May for
all types of birding. From cormorants to warblers, you can see it all from one
place. With the water levels receding in Bunker Pond, directly in front of the
platform, the herons, egrets, gulls, terns, and shorebirds have been taking
center stage. September alone has produced a number of notable sightings,
including Red-necked Phalarope, Wilson’s Phalarope, Baird’s Sandpiper, and
Marbled Godwit. And don’t forget – there’s lots of hawks, too. Come out and
join us!!
