Birding
in Cape May
CAPE MAY
Seasonal
Grab your binoculars and set out into the scenic spaces of Cape May, named by National Geographic as one of the top birding destinations in the world.
read moreEach year, Cape May plays host to thousands of migratory shore birds who visit the area for food made possible by the region's unique ecosystem. The birds fly a miraculous 10,000 miles from their breeding ground in the Arctic and arrive at the Delaware Bay after a 250-mile flight from South America, feasting on horseshoe crab eggs and other natural morsels provided by the land.
This phenomena was recently detailed by National Geographic: "The narrow peninsula at Cape May acts as a bird funnel, bringing in songbirds during their spring and fall migrations. At dawn on a good day, legendary Higbee Beach offers front-row seats to a feathered fashion show: A steady procession flies by, each bird intent on finding a place to rest as it encounters the natural barrier of Delaware Bay. With a little luck, you can see 20 species of warblers, each in its own colorful costume."
Witness this incredible natural occurrence on a self-guided Cape May Birding excursion.
