SPRING MIGRATION IN CAPE MAY
May 19, 2023 - May 21, 2023

Enjoy the company of JBNHSers and spring migration in Cape May and neighboring environs. Witness the spectacle of horseshoe crab and shorebird migration along the Delaware Bay shore and the northerly procession of so many more families of birds over the Atlantic and in tangled hedgerows. Visits will include locations where beach, coastal marsh, and southern affinity breeders are on territory too! Contact trip organizer Deb Weltsch (dweltsch13@gmail.com ) for more information about lodging and travel.
