Cape May, Naturally is a bi-weekly column about birding on the Cape written for the Herald by staff at the New Jersey Audubon.

While birders in the Northeast think of spring and fall migrations as the best times to go birding, winter has incredible wonders of its own no matter where you are. When the temperature drops below freezing or snow coats the ground—it’s not time to stay indoors—it’s time to put on an extra layer of clothing and experience what winter offers.

Founded in 1897, the New Jersey Audubon is one of the oldest independent Audubon societies in the nation. Visit them at njaudubon.org
