Insects and birds on the Atlantic coast north of Cape May Point are funneled into it. We went to Cape May on Sunday October 3, and saw uncountable numbers of Monarchs flying, and many more Monarchs hanging on the golden rod all the way out through the dunes to the beach. We also saw about 50 sharp shinned hawks, 10 or so red tailed hawks, Coopers' Hawks, 5 of more osprey, and many kestrals. We also observed up close two sharp shinned hawks, a Merlin and a Cooper's Hawk that they had caught and banded and were demonstrating to the crowd prior to releasing the birds. Our litle sister got to touch the Merlin's tail feathers. It was a great day!!
