Travel with CAS to one of the top birding locations in all of North America: Cape May, New Jersey, located in the very heart of the Atlantic Flyway. This trip is sure to appeal to both avid & novice birders alike, as it is timed to catch all the birding action of the fall migration along the Eastern Seaboard.

Cape May’s location makes it a special birding hot spot. It is positioned on the southernmost tip of New Jersey, and is situated exactly where birds that are migrating from points north “drop out” before crossing the Delaware Bay. Warblers, raptors, and waterfowl all abound here during the month of September, as do a myriad of shorebirds.

As you can see from the itinerary, the trip will cover sites that are well known for quality birding.  There also will be a group “Pizza in the Park” dinner the first night where we can get to know each other better and get updates on the trip.  Participants should find and make their own lodging arrangements.  The are many options in and around Cape May to fit a range of budgets.  For more details on the area, including places to stay, see https://njaudubon.org/centers/cape-may-bird-observatory/

Apr 15 CANCELLED – Norlo Garden Work Day
Apr 15 @ 9:30 am – 12:00 pm
  • The work day scheduled for 15 April is CANCELLED due to the weather forecast.
  • From Josh Donaldson – At this point the forecast is for thunderstorms starting early tomorrow morning and most of the morning so we might as well cancel it already.  We’ll take the rain!If the storms happen to clear in the afternoon I’ll probably go out to work, we’ll see.  Anyone with questions about what they can work on I can meet there some other time next week just get in touch.  Otherwise, as usual, everyone is welcome to work at their convenience (anytime) or come to the next work party!

    Serviceberry, Redbud, and Ragwort are all in bloom at the garden, other plants are just beginning to pop through the surface.

    Thanks for your interest and contributions!
