2. Monarch Tagging

Imagine an insect weighing less than a paper clip beginning a journey in Scarborough, Maine in late August. If successful she will arrive at her over-wintering grounds high in the Sierra Madre Mountains in Michoacan, Mexico in October. Our monarch will have traveled well over 2500 miles.

The Monarch Monitoring Project’s (MMP) overall goal is to increase our understanding of the fall migration of monarchs along the Atlantic coast. Both research and public education play their parts. Ultimately it is our hope that these efforts will improve the lot of these marvelous butterflies so that populations of migrant monarchs will enjoy a secure future.

3. Bird Watching at CMBO

Or how about “birding school” : Cape May Bird Observatory has a long track record for providing a wide range of indoor and outdoor wildlife events that are both fun and educational. Under the heading of the Cape May School of Birding, you will find a range of events offered that will help take your birding and other natural history interests to the next level.
