We travel to Cape May, New Jersey, for the heart of fall migration. This is an excellent time for hawks, sparrows, returning seaducks and northeast specialists like Purple Sandpiper, Great Cormorant and more. Cape May itself has much to offer, and is among the most famous birding spots and migration meccas in the world.
This fall migration tour is built around raptor, songbird, seabird, and monarch migration with field trips and workshops on each. We will be guided by raptor expert and Ornitherapy author Holly Merker, and we will also learn from staff at Cape May Bird Observatory and Cellular Tracking Technologies.
