Overview
What is a Little Sit? A spin on the annual, international birding event The Big Sit, this event takes that idea and slows it down. Join Nature Conservancy and Cape May Bird Observatory staff for a fun, educational challenge to see how many birds we can identify from one location. We hope you can join us for this special event—NO REGISTRATION NEEDED! The event takes place from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, September 27th (with a rain date of September 28th.)
In the fall, South Cape May Meadows is the perfect location to see migrating shorebirds, songbirds and raptors. As a part of this event, we will have benches for sitting, binoculars and spotting scopes for viewing, and educational materials to assist with bird identification. No matter your level of birding experience, you are welcome to help us add to our morning species total! An ASL interpreter will be provided for this event.
