Description:
A few acre state park. What's the big deal?
One of the best birding spots in the United States.
More than 10 times as many hawks go through Cape May Point than the, um, overrated, Hawk Mountain.
And, when you begin to tire of looking up at so many hawks, you can wander around the swamp/marsh, or along the shore, or see if you can find the rare Piping Plover. Then you can head up to the south side of the Inland Waterway (the north side hosts the Cape May - Lewes Ferry) for forest/shrubbery birding (can you say warblers) and then down the beach to Sunset Beach and gaze at the crumbling wreck of a concrete ship.
My personal bird list for this area: American Black Duck, American Coot, American Crow, American Goldfinch, American Kestrel, American Redstart, American Robin, American Wigeon, Baltimore Oriole, Barn Swallow, Belted Kingfisher, Black Scoter, Black-and-white Warbler, Black-bellied Plover, Black-billed Cuckoo, Blackburnian Warbler, Blackpoll Warbler, Black-throated Green Warbler, Blue Grosbeak, Blue Jay, Bobolink, Bonaparte's Gull, Brant, Brown Thrasher, Brown-headed Cowbird, Bufflehead, Canada Goose, Canada Warbler, Canvasback, Carolina Chickadee, Chimney Swift, Common Grackle, Common Moorhen, Common Snipe, Common Tern, Common Yellowthroat, Cooper's Hawk, Double-crested Cormorant, Eastern Kingbird, Eastern Meadowlark, Fish Crow, Forster's Tern, Glossy Ibis, Gray Catbird, Great Black-backed Gull, Great Blue Heron, Great Cormorant, Great Crested Flycatcher, Great Egret, Greater Scaup, Greater Yellowlegs, Harlequin Duck, Herring Gull, Horned Grebe, House Finch, House Sparrow, House Wren, Laughing Gull, Least Bittern, Least Tern, Lesser Yellowlegs, Magnolia Warbler, Mallard, Marsh Wren, Merlin, Mississippi Kite, Mourning Dove, Mute Swan, Nashville Warbler, Northern Bobwhite, Northern Cardinal, Northern Flicker, Northern Harrier, Northern Parula, Northern Pintail, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, Northern Shoveler, Osprey, Palm Warbler, Pectoral Sandpiper, Peregrine Falcon, Pied-billed Grebe, Piping Plover, Prothonotary Warbler, Purple Martin, Purple Sandpiper, Red Knot, Red-breasted Merganser, Red-eyed Vireo, Red-tailed Hawk, Red-throated Loon, Red-winged Blackbird, Ring-billed Gull, Rock Dove, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Ruddy Duck, Ruddy Turnstone, Sanderling, Sedge Wren, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Short-billed Dowitcher, Snow Goose, Snowy Egret, Spotted Sandpiper, Striated Heron, Surf Scoter, Tree Swallow, Tufted Titmouse, Tundra Swan, Turkey Vulture, White-throated sparrow, Willet, Wood Duck, Wood Thrush, Yellow Warbler, Yellow-breated Chat, Yellow-rumped Warbler
