The region sees more hawks than Hawk Mountain in Pennsylvania, purple martins that “gather into living tornadoes” and thousands of snow geese that fly along the Delaware Bay. Birding in Cape May County is unrivaled, said Peter Dunne, director of the New Jersey Audubon Society’s Cape May Bird Observatory. It could also be a large growth market for tourism in the region, officials said during a state Assembly Tourism and Arts Committee meeting that was held during Cape May County’s annual tourism conference Tuesday at the freeholders’ meeting room in the Crest Haven Complex.
