Here's what people are saying about our birding adventures...
“Excellent birding program with varied locations for the most species of birds. I highly recommend this program! I added three life birds to my list! The instructor is terrific birder and makes the experience quite enjoyable.”
— Karyn from Baden, PA
“This was our first Road Scholar program, and it was a great experience! We are very much beginner bird watchers, and we learned so much. We visited several different locales in and around Cape May, and each time we broke up into really small groups (each with an instructor) so we had wonderful opportunities to spot a wide variety of birds. I would wholeheartedly recommend this program to novices and experienced birders!”
— Judy from Edwardsville, IL
Unique birding programs designed for travelers age 50+!
Cape May has earned a reputation as one of North America’s best birding locales because of its diverse set of protected natural areas at the intersection of two major migration flyways. Spring brings warblers and other songbirds. Autumn highlights hawks, falcons, eagles and other raptors. The backdrop is a charming seaside town with Victorian architecture and a scenic lighthouse.
