Cape May Fall Weekend - Sept. 26-28, 2025

from $1,000.00
Only 2 available

Cape May, NJ, is the East Coast's mecca of birding, and is particularly bird-rich in the fall. On good fall migration days, the area's forests and marshes are teeming with warblers, vireos, thrushes, and other songbirds, and of course the hawk-watch is legendary as well. We'll visit Cape May Point, Higbee Beach, Cape May Meadows and more in search of songbirds, raptors, wading birds, ducks and terns. Time permitting, we’ll also stop at wonderful locales en route, such as Nummy Island or The Wetlands Institute in Stone Harbor to explore the gorgeous expanses of tidal marshes in the region.

Transport by passenger van from NYC and accommodations at the National Historic Landmark Hotel Macomber included.

Mobility: trip includes walking over mostly flat but unpaved trails, as well as some [optional] birding platforms with stairs or steep trails. The Hotel Macomber does not have an elevator.

Limited to 10. $1000 ($150 single room supplement).
