SUMMARY:Kick Off Your Year List 2027
LOCATION:Cape May Point State Park Hawkwatch Platform
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM\n\nHappy New Birding Year! Time to kic
 k-off your yearly birding list with Program Coordinator Adehl Schwaderer 
 and CMBO Naturalists! Let’s be honest\, this is simply a day of pure\, un
 adulterated fun! Birders love to keep lists of what they see and\, perhap
 s\, the most frequently kept list is the year list – a tally of all those
  species seen over the course of a single calendar year. January 1st give
 s us a great opportunity to start our New Year with a great day out in Ca
 pe May County\, exploring hidden corners as well as well-known locations\
 , and covering a range of habitats. We’ll visit multiple locations and ho
 tspots\, including the Cape May Point State Park and the Nature Conservan
 cy’s South Cape May Meadows. We are scheduled to end at 5:00 p.m.\, but t
 here may be optional birding opportunities later into the evening.\n\nWe 
 do not set a firm daily schedule in advance\, leaving us flexible to maxi
 mize birding opportunities\, taking advantage of weather conditions\, tid
 es and recent bird sightings. Final location decisions will be made by th
 e leader based on local knowledge and conditions at the time. We will bre
 ak for an hour or so for lunch and to warm up. We may walk up to 1.5 mile
 s\, over generally level\, sometimes muddy or sandy terrain.\n\nPREREGIST
