Identifying Summer Seabirds of the Mid-Atlantic

Join CMBO Senior Naturalist Scott Barnes for a beginner/intermediate level class on summer pelagic birds, learning to identify 18 species of seabirds that may be encountered off the Mid-Atlantic coast. We’ll cover shearwaters, storm-petrels, jaegers, and terns and how to distinguish these often-similar species. An excellent primer for the 24-hour Cape May Whale Watch and Research Center pelagic on Aug 15-16.

Cost: $15 NJA/CMBO members; $20 non-members

A Zoom link to the presentation will be sent to attendees prior to the event.
