Before you go, check the Cape May Bird Observatory's Web site, http://www.birdcapemay.org. (The bird observatory is part of the New Jersey Audubon Society).
On the way to Cape May, stop at the Cape May Bird Observatory's Center for Research & Education, 600 Route 47 N., Goshen, N.J., for information, directions, a birding map to Cape May County, a seasonal guide to programs and workshops, bird field guides and optical equipment, as well as to watch the birds while sitting on the deck.
In Cape May, stop at the Cape May Bird Observatory's Northwood Center at 701 E. Lake Drive, Cape May Point, N.J. (It has the same materials as the Research & Education Center.) While you're there, park on a bench in front of the center to watch birds. If the staff members aren't busy, they'll step outside and identify birds that stop by to fill up at the feeders.
At the very least, visit a prime spot for bird-watching, like Cape May Point State Park or the Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge. Allow time to watch the birds and listen to their calls.
Take a bird-watchers' walk, guided by volunteers from the Cape May Bird Observatory. They're only $10 per person for two-hour tours — even less, if you buy an observatory individual ($35) or family membership
($45). Check http://www.birdcapemay.org for a schedule.
If you'd rather not participate in a group tour, hire a Cape May Bird Observatory guide for a half- or whole-day tour. Contact 609-884-2736 or e-mail marleennjaudubon.org. Or sign up for an in-depth workshop by calling 609-861-0700.
The Nature Center of Cape May, also a New Jersey Audubon facility, operates many nature programs for children, including birding presentations and harbor ''safaris.'' It's located at 1600 Delaware Ave. in Cape May. 609-898-8848.
Go birding by boat, past osprey nests, back bays and marshy areas that are full of birds but inaccessible on foot. Traveling slowly by pontoon boat, even visitors with mobility problems can enjoy seeing a wide variety of birds and their habitats. Most trips last two hours (there is a restroom on the boat) and cost $25 per adult or $15 per child. See http://birdingbyboat.com or call 609-898-3500.
