Cape may is a great place to bird year round, glad you got to see one of the best spots in our state. You should come during the spring festival one year , it’s a great time!
Cape May is a great spot, been there once during late Spring, loads of shore birds and Boat-tailed grackles, most notably we saw a Sandwich tern, lifer for me!
This made me so happy to see Cape May, I love it there and drive down from Ocean county every year to visit. There's so much to do and It's a beautiful area all around, but now I'll have to do some birding too!
Very cool! Thanks for the info on the Oyster Catchers. I’m headed to Wilmington NC the 3rd week of April and hope to see them. I’m adding Cape May to my wish list!
Good Morning 🌅 to you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Yesterday, I saw my first ‘ LIFER’ for 2025, a Common Sandpiper resting among the rocks on the beachfront promenade in the New Territories of HKSAR. I believe it is just taking a break during its migration before heading to Southeast Asia and Australia 🇦🇺.
A shoreline birding spot you should visit in April or May here in CT is the CT Audubon Coastal Center in Milford. I fish this location every April and run across many different migrating shorebirds and tons of Mute Swans, along with numerous Song Sparrows and Northern Mockingbirds. I enjoy listening to and watching the American Oystercatchers and watching the different types of Plovers and Sandpipers forage. They have Martin houses and a special little park green area to watch birds forage and bathe. There's a city-owned recreational area with a few freshwater ponds and 2 trails not far from there, along with a state park along the shoreline within a close driving distance that has a walkway going through untouched marshlands with tall dense vegetation. I have a history of using the eBird app for these locations.
I spent 3 summers as an adult in Wildwood (just up the road from Cape May) a long time ago. Sadly, I wasn't into birding at the time, so all I saw was "sea gulls", which I know now is not the proper way of understanding or labeling them.

My favorite species here was the Blue-winged Teal. Please does anyone know what subspecies of Lesser black backed Gull was seen here?
That I’m not sure about! If anyone knows drop a comment below 👇

Were you able to get shots of that oystercatcher's band numbers to be able to report it?
They were already being monitored by some friends of ours!

Judgement free zone here! It actually doesn’t bother me when people say seagulls
