Location: Cape May Bird Observatory Hawk Watch Site
Number of species: 40
Happy Halloween from the Hawk Watch Interpretative Naturalists!!! So while the raptor count will continue until the end of November, this is the final day for all the interpretative naturalists (Ashley, Melissa, Lizzie, and Jon). We've had an AMAZING season this fall on many different levels. Not only was the platform a perfect place to see a wide array of migrating raptors, we also got to expand our knowledge on many other types of birds, insects, butterflies, reptiles, and plants!! We would like to give a special thanks to everyone who gave us their warmth and kindness. The locals and visitors were always supportive and gladly answered any questions we had. You guys are AWESOME!!! No ifs, ands, or buts about it!! The season would be nothing without you. So again, thank you so much for everything. We will miss you guys!!!
