Did you know about this place..? What is
there?.. Here, I want to share something. This interesting place is located at
West Cape May in New Jersew. If I get
the chance to go I want to be there because it is one of the place we need to
seen before it becoming extinct this place really suitable for those
interesting about birds..
This place also known as the Cape May
Meadows which is used to be a cow
pasture at the edge of the dunes. The shallow, freshwater ponds and mudflats
are one of the neatest shorebird stopover locations along the East Coast.
Habitat in the Meadows has changed over the years.
What we can do there..? First, Beach nesting species include Piping
Plover and Least Tern in most years. They can be found in the roped off areas.
Watch for feeding plovers, including their young, at the edge of the surf and
feeding Least Terns in the ponds or just beyond the surf line.
They also can wading birds like Herons and
egrets frequent the ponds from April through and it isn’t unusual to see a
Black-crowned Night-heron feeding in the shady edge of the phragmites. Gadwall
and other ducks nest. Common Moorhen nest at the edges of the ponds and are
most often seen east of the east path.
Than is
fall migration in the Meadows is nothing short of spectacular. Many of
the hawks counted at the Cape May Hawkwatch pass directly over the Meadows or
hunt in it. Peregrines, Cooper’s Hawks, and Merlins can put on a spectacular
show from mid-September through late October, along with scads of harriers,
Sharp-shins, and even the occasional Bald Eagle circling overhead.
Beside that, it is also have High Beach,
Cape May Point State Park and Hawkwatch, Avalon Seawatch, Stone Harbor Point,
Nummy Island, Belleplain State Forest Jake's Landing Road, and Forsythe
National Wildlife Refuge aroud this place to..
