![]() Philadelphia Berlin, Maryland Newark Cape May, New Jersey N e w Je r s e y PENN S Y L V ANIA N Itinerary at a Glance Day 1Īfter arriving at the Newark, New Jersey Airport, we head south for Cape May. We’ll make sure we have time to stroll the streets of Cape May to enjoy its vintage charm. In addition to wonderful birding, Cape May is also a famous coastal town in and of itself, filled with picturesque storefronts, historic buildings and Victorian gingerbread houses. We’ll also visit the Assateague Island National Seashore, famous both for its shorebirds, and for the wild ponies that live there, descended from domestic horses brought to the barrier island in the 17th Century. The latter is one of the most botanically diverse forests on the East Coast, excellent for nesting forest songbirds such as Orchard & Baltimore Orioles, Summer & Scarlet Tanagers, and Hooded, Yellow-throated and Prothonotary Warblers, just to name a few. On this week-long trip we’ll explore a number of other world-class birding locations as well, such as Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge and the Belleplain State Forest. Warblers, tanagers, birds of prey and waterfowl all abound here during the month of May, as does a myriad of shorebirds, the latter stopping to feast on the billions of eggs laid by Horseshoe Crabs along the coast around Cape May.Īnd the great birding does not stop there. It is positioned on the southernmost tip of New Jersey, and is situated exactly where birds that are migrating from the neotropics, “drop out” from exhaustion after having flown north across the Delaware Bay. This trip is sure to appeal to both avid & novice birders alike, as it is timed to catch all the birding action of the spring migration along the Eastern Seaboard.Ĭape May’s location makes it a very special birding hot spot. Join us as we travel to one of the top birding locations in all of North America: Cape May, New Jersey, located in the very heart of the Atlantic Flyway. ![]()
