Birding After Dark
March 21, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
There is nothing quite like watching the sunset over the ocean in Cape May, New Jersey. Now, imagine getting treated to that sunset while spending the last few hours of daylight searching for various critters who thrive during the crepuscular hours! Join CMBO’s Program Coordinator, Adehl Schwaderer, and Associate Naturalists to observe birds as they wind down for the evening and track down the peculiar ‘peeent’ of a woodcock or the call of a territorial owl. This program will be held on Cape Island, with the final location selected depending on the presence of bird activity and shared the week of the program. A small flashlight may be helpful toward the end of the trip for walking back to vehicles.
-We do not set a firm daily schedule in advance, leaving us flexible to maximize birding opportunities, taking advantage of weather conditions and recent bird sightings. We may walk up to 1.5 miles on sand and boardwalk. Please arrive at the appointed time with a full tank of gas as transportation is by private vehicle.
PREREGISTRATION REQUIRED – Ticket sales end 24hrs before start of program
COST: $20 members, $25 nonmembers.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
We bird in all weather. Be sure to check the forecast in advance and dress in layers appropriate for prevailing weather conditions. The weather in Cape May can differ considerably from nearby inland areas and may be warmer, colder, or windier so it’s best to be over prepared. We may have to bird in the rain, so please bring your rain gear.
TRANSPORTATION: Please arrive at the appointed time with a full tank of gas, as transportation to field sites is by private vehicles. We may walk up to 1.5 miles, over generally level, sometimes muddy or sandy terrain. Some trips involve walks over jetties.
CANCELLATION: CMBO programs require a minimum number of registrants to run, five days in advance of the start of the tour but are seldom cancelled. If we do cancel, due to lack of participation, severe weather, or unforeseen circumstances, we notify all participants in advance, and all are eligible for a full credit or refund. Participants may cancel without penalty if greater than 30 days in advance. Cancellations 10 to 30 days in advance may be subject to a 25% service charge. No refunds or credits for cancellations less than ten days in advance unless due to health emergencies
