Beschrijving

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.

Toegang

Cape May Point State Park is located at Light House Ave, Cape May Point, NJ 08212. Press P in the map for directions to the parking lot. There are no park or entry fees to access Cape May Point State Park. The parking lot is located next to the hawkwatch (indicated by a star on the map), with most trails accessible by foot. Visiting birders should spend as long as they want at the location, sometimes half an hour during an unproductive flight and sometimes a whole morning or afternoon during a good migratory flight.
