NJ Young Birders Club-Cape May Hawk Watch
October 5 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
A focused field trip watching migratory raptors and other birds and learning about how we count them at the hawk watch. This trip is open to young birders plus parent/guardian only and designed to teach young birders about the nature of a migration count, where observers conduct an organized count of migratory birds passing by a particular point. We’ll learn about raptor identification, estimating numbers of birds, the weather conditions that favor the passage of many bird species, tips on picking up distant flocks of hawks and other migrants, and more. Time permitting, we may do some birding along the state park trails or other nearby locations. Led by Adehl Schwaderer, Program Coordinator, and Kristal Stahler, George Meyers Naturalist Cape May Bird Observatory.
Location: Meets at the Cape May Point State Park. We’ll meet in front of the Hawkwatch Platform located across the large parking lot, opposite the Cape May Point Lighthouse.
