Cape May Bird Observatory - Center for Research and Education

600 Route 47 North
Cape May Court House, NJ 08210

609-861-0700

Founded in 1976 by New Jersey Audubon*, the Cape May Bird Observatory is a leader in research, environmental education, bird conservation, and recreational birding activities.

Our mission is to understand and instill appreciation for the needs of resident and migrating birds so that human ambitions do not undermine them.  Funded almost entirely by the support of an international membership, two facilities serve our members' needs and interests.

There are few places in North America which have been birded longer or have more birding advocates than Cape May, New Jersey, one of the planet's most celebrated migratory junctions.  An array of habitat types and a wealth of protected natural areas make Cape May and the entire Delaware Bayshore a bird spot for all seasons.  Wind and geography conspire to direct millions of migrating hawks, seabirds, shorebirds, songbirds, butterflies, and dragonflies here every autumn.
