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 Saturday October 7. Highlights this week include
sightings of FULVOUS WHISTLING-DUCK, GREAT CORMORANT, ORANGE-CROWNED
WARBLER, RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, MISSISSIPPI KITE, TOWNSEND’S WARBLER
and HUDSONIAN GODWIT.
On 10/5 a TOWNSEND’S WARBLER was found at Brigantine NWR near the
beginning of Jen’s Trail. This point is accessed from the north dike
at the beginning of the upland/wetland transitional area. Please
report any future sightings of this species to the Cape May Bird
Observatory at the number listed below.
HUDSONIAN GODWIT was also reported from Brigantine NWR on 10/3.
There has been a good flight of various species of birds in the last
day. There was a large nocturnal flight of birds on the evening of
10/5 with many BICKNELL’S and GRAY-CHEEKED THRUSHES being hear.
Reports of numerous songbirds in virtually every corner of Cape May
filtered into CMBO all day yesterday. Last evening there were
numerous herons (GREAT BLUE HERONS and BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONS)
and egrets calling as the circled Cape May Point.
Also heard in the evening, on 10/5, were three FULVOUS WHISTLING-
DUCKS flying over Columbia Ave. in Cape May. Most likely these birds
have long since passed the area but it is still a good idea to keep a
sharp eye in any suitable habitat.
GREAT CORMORANT has been frequenting various locations in Cape May
this week. The last report was from the Concrete Ship at the end of
Sunset Ave. on 10/5.
An ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER was found in Cape May “City” on 10/4.
Also in Cape May “City” were two RED-BREASTED NUTHATCHES on 10/5.
Lastly the MISSISSIPPI KITE has been spotted off and on over the
week. The last report of this species was on 10/5 from both the
Hawkwatch platform and the Beanery.

Cape May Meadows) is open again for birding.
