Season’s Passage
If spring was the time for love,
Summer is family time on Cape May's
beaches. Not just for the throngs of
people coming for a week at a time,
but for the myriad of beach and
marsh-nesting birds along our shorelines. Cape May County beaches
support small but important populations of rare and endangered species
such as the Piping Plover, American
Oystercatcher, Least Tern and Black
Skimmer, four species that couldn't be
more different in their behavior and
yet which nest nearly side-by-side
along our beautiful shore. In addition
to the rarities, our region proudly hosts
the largest Laughing Gull colony in the
world stretched across our marshes
between the barrier islands and the
mainland. A Laughing Gull in winter is
nothing to gush over, but a Laughing
Gull in his or her spring finery is a
spectacular beast! Dark chocolate
hood, white eye liner, a strikingly red
bill that would give any Revlon girl a
run for her money. And appropriately
named as well – just listen to them!
Of course Summer is full of a myriad
of birds throughout the Cape May
region, so whether you want to "Break
Into Birding" (see page 2), experience a
relaxed "Birds Before Dinner" walk (see
page 3) or explore Cape May and our
sister cape, Cape Henlopen, by bike for
a Birds and Beers tour (see page 6),
we've got something for you this
summer!

1@ HERE BE DRAGONS
Saturday, July 9
With Glen Davis. Dragonflies & Damselflies are a common part of our local wildlife, yet they can be confusing at first
glance. With a mixture of indoor theory
and outdoor practice, come and learn
how to identify many of the 100 or so
species that occur in Cape May County.
We’ll visit a variety of habitats around
Cape May County that will allow us to

the tiny sprites to the mighty darners.
Preregistration required.
1# ONE GOOD TERN…

summer for viewing our breeding terns.
These birds can seem all too similar at
first, but this half-day workshop will set
you in the right direction to understanding the basic principles of setting the terns
apart. Preregistration required. Limited
to 12 participants.
1$ SHOREBIRDS ON THE MOVE
Saturday, August 13
With Glen Davis. Mid-August is the perfect time to get to grips with the shorebirds, for it is now that the season’s
youngsters are heading south from Arctic breeding grounds. Stripy peeps and
little brown jobs may seem daunting at
first, but a half-day in the field learning
the principal starting points will set you
in the right direction to getting more
enjoyment from these fascinating birds.
Limited to 12 participants.
1% SHOREBIRDS WITH THE MAN
WHO WROTE THE BOOK
Wednesday-Thursday, August 24-25
With Michael O’Brien. It is not surprising
Houghton Mifflin’s landmark The Shorebird Guide (2006) sprang from the brains
and hands of three Cape May birders
and authors. Now you can experience
some of the East Coast’s best
shorebirding while guided by one of
them. Michael O’Brien is equal parts
skilled birder and superb teacher. Search
storied locations like Bunker Pond, the
South Cape May Meadows, Stone Harbor and Edwin B. Forsythe NWR for
peeps, plovers and yellowlegs plus possible gems like phalaropes or godwits.
Over 25 plovers and sandpipers are in
easy reach, with some species numbering in the thousands. Learn to begin with
size, shape, behavior and voice, and
then move on to careful examination of
plumage details, just as The Shorebird
Guide teaches. Preregistration required.
Cost: $150 members,
$190 nonmembers.
1^ SHOREBIRDS AT BOMBAY HOOK
Friday-Saturday,August 26-27
With Tom Reed. Experience the second
wave of southbound migrating shorebirds in central Delaware-a place with a
subtly different species mix than locations like Cape May, Brigantine or Jamaica Bay. This trip offers an excellent
opportunity to study a wide variety of
shorebirds, herons, and terns. Mixed
species flocks of shorebirds-often at close
range and in juvenile and adult plum-
ages, provide participants with a chance
to learn subtleties of sandpiper identification. Species we should encounter include American Avocet, Black-necked
Stilt, Western Sandpiper, White-rumped
Sandpiper, Stilt Sandpiper, Long-billed
Dowitcher, Caspian and Black Terns. We
could see some less-common to rare
shorebirds like Hudsonian and Marbled
Godwits, Buff-breasted Sandpiper,
Baird’s Sandpiper, and Wilson’s
Phalarope. Preregistration required.
Cost: $150 members,
$190 nonmembers.
1& BIRDS IN FLIGHT
Wednesday-Thursday,
September 7-8
With Michael O’Brien. You’ve heard of
the legendary Higbee Dike, where migrant songbirds are identified and
counted as they fly past. How do those
guys do it? Here’s your chance to learn
from one of "those guys!" For certain
groups of birds – ducks, seabirds, raptors – flight identification techniques
have been well established. But have
you ever longingly watched a songbird
fly over, wishing it would perch so you
could identify it? Or had a flock of blackbirds on the horizon and wondered if
they were grackles or red-wings? Learn
how to apply what we’ve learned about
flight i.d. to any bird that crosses your
air space, be it a familiar-in-flight Sharpshinned Hawk, or a relative stranger like
a tanager or oriole. This workshop takes
place over two half-days, so as to allow
us to be out in the field at the very best
time of day. We shall have an indoor session on Wednesday evening, followed
by a 6:30am start the following morning, finishing a little before midday. Preregistration required.
1* FALL MIGRATION AT CAPE MAY
Friday-Sunday, September 9-11
With Louise Zemaitis. September
straddles the migratory timetable.
You’re not too late for shorebirds, not
too early for hawks, and right on time
for warblers and other neotropical migrants. Indeed, it is the great variety of
songbirds heading south during early
September that will be the main target
of this three-day Birding Break and we
shall have ample opportunity to learn
these birds both by sight and sound. We
go where weather conditions dictate
and will strive to see the greatest species
diversity. Preregistration required.
Cost: $225 members,
$265 nonmembers.
1( INTRODUCTION TO
BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY
Saturday-Sunday,
September 10-11
With Scott Whittle. Whether you’re looking to accelerate your identification skills,
or show the world how you see the birds
around you, the camera is a perfect tool.
In this two-day workshop, professional
photographer Scott Whittle will help you
work with the equipment you have to
achieve your photographic goals. The
course will include an overview of gear
and how to use it, shooting sessions in
the field, and how to develop a digital
workflow that gets you the best possible
image. Participants are encouraged to
bring their laptops for post-photo capture learning. Preregistration required.
Cost: $150 members,
$190 nonmembers.
2) MONARCHS ON MIGRATION
Thursday, September 22
With Mark Garland. Learn about the biology of the monarch butterfly and
spend a day in the field with the Director
of the CMBO Monarch Monitoring
Project. Visit gardens and other natural
areas around Cape May Point to watch
monarch behavior and see the principles
of butterfly gardening in action. Learn
how to safely handle and tag monarchs,
and also learn methods for conducting
field research into these migratory insects. Visit the CMBO Northwood Center to see the terraria where monarch
caterpillars and chrysalides are on display, and learn about the proper husbandry of such displays. We will take time
to identify many other butterflies that
can be found at this season in Cape May
Point, and we’ll identify a few of the migrant birds that are sure to be around,
but the primary focus will be on monarch biology all day. There will be a short
indoor illustrated talk on monarch biology, but most of the day will be in the
field in Cape May Point.
2! FALCON FEST & HAWKS ON HIGH
Saturday-Sunday,
September 24-25
With Pete Dunne. Bird Cape May at the
peak time for raptor diversity, with experts who know identification tricks unavailable anywhere else! This workshop
will be "just birding," no indoor workshop time (unless severe weather dictates
otherwise) at the prime time to be in
Cape May. Expect many falcons (including Peregrines), plus accipiters, buteos,
harriers, ospreys and eagles. Though
our aim will be to study and appreciate
the sometimes spectacular passage of
falcon species through Cape May at this
time of year, we shall be in a prime location to enjoy other migrants too and,
depending on the conditions, we may
also seek shorebirds, late warblers, early
sparrows, and more.
Cost: $150 members,
$190 nonmembers.

including terns and storm-petrels. Once on the other side, we will ride through
our sister cape, Cape Henlopen State Park, and the Junction & Breakwater Trail
connecting Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. Since this is a birds-and-beer tour, we
will head for one of the greatest breweries in North America, the Dogfish Head
Brewery in Rehoboth Beach. After a beer tasting and a bite to eat, we'll head
back towards the bay where we will explore the WWII history of Miles Historic
area, climb the old bunker and lookout tower and stop by the Seaside Nature
Center and fishing pier in the magnificent Cape Henlopen State Park. Expect to
cover approximately 30 miles throughout the day, but know that frequent rests
will occur to explore the natural and cultural gems of the region.
