Bird watching is the fastest-growing outdoor activity in the United States. Based on a survey by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 51.3 million Americans report they watch birds. Additionally, Cape May has been named one of the top ten areas to bird watch in the United States.
The Cape May County Library is delighted to offer bird watching classes at 9:00 a.m. at the following libraries:
