Next Saturday, May 11th marks the 30th Annual World Series of Birding as 1000 bird watchers drive all over southern New Jersey to amass a record number of bird sightings. The team record is 231 sightings and tallies via the honor system are counted at the end of the day in Cape May. Apparently, we are in the high migration season and Cape May is right in the flyway. These "birders" are very skilled in their art and it also helps if you can recognize a bird call in the dark. I know that the robin red breast is the first sign of spring and I love the music of the mocking bird but when the weather gets warm I prefer the double breasted seersucker. Oh, and be careful if you are driving around Cape May on Saturday and be prepared to clean the windshield.
