Cape May County is the 10th most
important birding location in the world, and we are located on a flyway where migrating
birds travel from North America to South America. The horseshoe crab, whose eggs
feed the birds, spawns on the Delaware Bay, and birders come from all over the world to
watch the Fall hawk migrations, and Spring bird arrivals. Over 250 species of
raptors migrate here each year and songbirds and seabirds come for the abounding
vegetation of our wetlands. Call the Cape May Bird Observatory, or the Audubon
Society or Wetlands Institute for information.
