You have reached the Cape May Birding Hotline, a service of New Jersey
Audubon Society’s Cape May Bird Observatory. This week’s message was
prepared on Friday May 12. The roster this week includes sightings
of WHITE-FACED IBIS, WHITE-WINGED DOVE, WESTERN GREBE, EURASIAN
COLLARED DOVE, CURLEW SANDPIPER, ROSEATE TERN and MISSISSIPPI KITE.
A ROSEATE TERN was spotted from Cape May Point today, 5/12 from St.
Mary’s Jetty.
Again today 5/12, a MISSISSIPPI KITE was seen flying over the Beanery
(Rea’s Farm) from Steven’s Ave. in West Cape May around one o’clock
in the afternoon.
The WHITE-WINGED DOVE continues to be seen today (but has become more
scarce in its visitation today), at a private feeder in West Cape
May. To look for this bird head to the corner of Pacific Ave and
Third Ave in West Cape May. PLEASE use Goldbeaten Alley to look for
this bird. The bird has been seen roosting in a Hackberry tree and
can typically be seen easily from the alley.
The EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE continues, as of 5/11, along Stone Harbor
Blvd. The bird is being seen near house # 741 but please us the
utmost respect as this is someone’s private property. The last
report of this bird is that it was seen from 6-7 p.m.
The WESTERN GREBE continues to be seen as of 5/11, far from shore.
The bird has been located at both Reed’s Beach and Cook’s Beach.
The two CURLEW SANDPIPERS that have been at the Heislerville
Impoundments have not been reported today but were seen on 5/11. It
has been reported that the water levels are up in the impoundments
but there seems to still be plenty of areas for the birds to be found.
A WHITE-FACED IBIS is still being seen in Beaver Swamp as of 5/11 and
as of the last report there were fewer GLOSSY IBIS in the area
CMBO’s bookstore hours are as follows: Northwood Center on East Lake
Drive in Cape May Point is open 7 days a week 9-4:30. The Center for
Research and Education on Route 47 in Goshen is open 7 days a week,
9-4:30.
The Cape May Birding Hotline is a service of the New Jersey Audubon
Society’s Cape May Bird Observatory and details sightings from Cape
May, Cumberland, and Atlantic Counties. Updates are made weekly.
Please report sightings of rare or unusual birds to CMBO at
609-884-2736. Sponsorship for this hotline comes from the support of
CMBO members and business members, and should you not be a member, we
cordially invite you to join. Individual membership is $35 per year;
$45 for families. You can call either center to become a member or
visit. Become a member in person and you’ll receive a FREE copy of
BIRDS OF NEW JERSEY (in addition to member discount in the stores).
Good luck and Good Birding!
