It's no wonder birdwatchers
flock to the Jersey Cape in the spring and fall
to witness our massive bird migrations; after
all, Cape May County is considered one of the
top ten birding "hot spots" in North America.
Every spring an estimated one
million migrating shorebirds stop to feed on
horseshoe crab eggs along the beaches of the
Delaware Bay. This phenomenon alone
attracts birders from all over the world.
August through October is by
far the best time to see the greatest diversity
of birds, while raptors, songbirds and
shorebirds are found in the spring. More
than 400 species have been sighted in Cape May
County.
Come to the Jersey Cape; we are
sure you will add a few species to your birding
check list.
