This vast, drive-round wildlife refuge can appear daunting at first, but under the right conditions can provide some memorable birding. It is excellent for all kinds of waterbirds, including herons, egrets, ibises, ducks, geese, and vast numbers of waders, which roost and feed here depending on the state of the tide. In the vegetation to the sides of the drive look out for Sharp-tailed and Seaside Sparrows. The USA is geared for tourism, and Cape May is geared to bird tourism, making it one of the easiest places in the world to go birding. There are daily scheduled flights from Heathrow and Gatwick to both destinations.
Car hire is cheap and easy.
There are no specialised tours running from the UK, but the Cape May Bird Observatory runs a number of birders' events, including spring and autumn weekends.
