Cape May is a fantastic place to practice raptor identification. The Cape May peninsula acts as a funnel to concentrate migrating raptors in the fall and gives Cape May its title of “Raptor Capitol of North America”. Join Senior Naturalist Kristy Morley and visit Cape May Point State Park and put your classroom learnings into practice. There are 12 species of diurnal raptors (e.g., hawks, eagles, falcons, etc.) that are seen regularly in early October, and rarities like Golden Eagle and Swainson’s Hawk are possible.
