Beschreibung

Cape May Point State Park is great for observing migrating birds, especially in fall when its position at the south end of a peninsula concentrates migrants. Its hawkwatch is known for birds such as Sharp-shinned Hawk, Peregrine Falcon, American Kestrel and Broad-winged Hawk, and the forests near the hawkwatch often contain warblers. It often has vagrants especially in fall when birds are concentrated. The beaches to the south often have great seawatching opportunities, with nesting Least Tern and American Oystercatcher.
