Cape May is one of the prime birding areas on the East Coast. Due to its location and mile-long beach front, The Nature Conservancy’s William D. & Jane C. Blair Jr. Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge is one of Cape May’s “hot spots” for birding. During the fall migration, tens of thousands of raptors representing more than 15 species can be seen flying over the refuge. Over a million seabirds pass the refuge every autumn. In the spring, thousands of migrating shorebirds, songbirds, and waterfowl pass through this area. It also protects nesting habitat for the endangered least terns and piping plovers.
