Educational Programs

We now offer regularly scheduled banding demonstrations at Cape May Point State Park and at The Nature Conservancy Meadows.

From mid-September through October, banders and research assistants share their experiences in bird banding and their knowledge of birds of prey with interested visitors. These presentations are informal and offer plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion. Whenever possible, banded raptors, ready for release, are brought to the demo to provide first hand observation of these magnificent birds.                                                                            

Cape May Point State Park

10:00 am each Saturday and Sunday morning from mid-September through October. Meet next to the bird watching platform. 

The Nature Conservancy Meadows

11:30 am each Saturday from September 24 through October. Meet at the parking lot contact station.

Demonstrations may be cancelled due to weather.

Banding demonstrations can also be arranged for private groups. A donation of $100 is suggested in order to support our public program.
