Birding Cape May in Fall - 300 Bird Challenge

The 300 Bird challenge needs a bit of help, so we go birding in Cape May and a few other spots around New Jersey. With only a few weeks of the year remaining, can we pick up enough bird species on this trip?

In this video, we visit Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Cape May Point, Cape May South Meadows, Cape May National Park and several other spots looking for birds.

Part Two will follow in 1-2 weeks time.

On rare occasion, Brown Rat Snakes can be seen in the marshes and mangroves areas as well as up on the hill’s looking for rats and mates during breeding seasons.

Good morning to both of you from Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR. Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR has lots of different species of Egrets along the beachfront promenade at various days in the semi-rural areas in the New Territories of Hong Kong 🇭🇰 SAR.

This is a great video. I like how the both of you introduce the video. This is a nice change. Good job. I have not visited Cape May but I have known about this famous birding location. I have been to NJ numerous times. It’s a nice drive from the Toronto area. It was nice watching your video and seeing the different birding locations and trails as you make your way to Cape May. The video was very informative. Keep up the great work. Ron Javorsky

This was great to watch, I learn a lot from seeing the new birds. Thanks

[brighteyedbirding]

Congrats on your new birds! Your storytelling is incredible! Keep up the great work!

[charliestreets]

Love the Pearl Crescent, never heard of this one before, I almost feel as if I'm there with you both 👍

[Tracy.Reaume]

Eek, 9 new birds and many of them lifers… CONGRATS! 👏 😅

Ha! Forsythe is my favorite NWR, which says a lot since I'm from Maine. Heading there next week...again.

At time stamp 9:15 you have a juvenile White Ibis in your mixed flock of herons and stuff. You've been to Florida this year so I'm sure it isn't new for you.

Great video as always! Cape May looks like a great spot to bird! Congrats on adding so many new ones to the list!

Hello! I stumbled across this video last night. It attracted me because I live very nearby Cape May - about 45 minutes south, in fact, near Ocean City MD. I'm a [very] amateur birder. I keep a book and use my binoculars a lot, take lots of photos and some videos, just in my back yard. I've seen 29 species just in my back yard, and another 29 species while out and about around here or traveling in London, Holland, Paris. I really like your format for your bird watching.

I took my sister and brother in-law to one of my favorite trails looking for the Dickcissel. My brother changed the name to Richard😂so now I'll try to look for Richard next year. Take care! looking forward to part 2.

Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always, so awesome that you visited USA ❤️🤗

[dankeener]

We get to Cape May yearly. Fun to revisit on your awesome video. Thx!

[ShaynaCossetteBirding]

Another incredible birding adventure! So exciting to see all the lifers you found!

[Handmaiduns]

Ahhh this was such a great video! So beautifully created. Awesome stuff, you’ve well and truly smashed last years total too 🎉

[richardwalker]

I love your videos! When I'm feeling a bit burnt out for seeing just the "normal" birds, I watch you guys and my enthusiasm returns! I'm heading down to the water to look for birds.

these gulls are really smart. At least at Forsythe they fly up in the air with a shell and drop them from the air on the gravel road to get them split open by impact. Maybe the gulls do that everywhere but thats the first time I have seen it.

Congrats on your lifers! That was fun to watch.
