In this guide, Cape May birders can find out exactly when and where in the region to go, what birds they’re likely to see, why the birds are there, and what factors could affect the birds’ behavior. Filled with the authors’ photos, this book offers insider information that will help any birder make the most of a visit. It features a complete Cape May bird list and a description of the region’s history complemented by images that show how Cape May has changed over the years, and how it has stayed the same.
