Jshaw236 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 So my wife and I have a couple weeks in early October and we are thinking of doing a birding trip anywhere in the US and we are looking for some ideas about where to go for great birding during this time. Thanks in advance for your suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictaker Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Cape may, New Jersey in October is always a great spot, never know what you will see, warbler migration will be peaking about then.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jshaw236 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 That would be amazing a lot of warblers always is a huge plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pictaker Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The Audubon website has a lot of useful info and a quick Google will give you plenty of results, There are several places within about a two/three hour drive you can visit also, Barnegat inlet(a little early but you may get harlequin ducks there) Forsythe national refuge(wildlife drive can be pretty nice in the fall there). Avalon has a sea watch,hundreds of ducks/cormorants,water birds pass the jetty on the right days, you can take the ferry to delaware and visit Bombay Hook national refuge and if you have the time, Conowingo dam on the border of Penn and maryland should have plenty of Bald eagles to see,They usually start showing up mid october,some days there are hundreds there... Good luck on whatever you do https://njaudubon.org/places-to-visit/cape-may-bird-observatory/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean C Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 @Jshaw236 I highly recommend Cape May and Dry Tortugas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jshaw236 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Thanks for the info, and another mark for cape May, we live out west so seeing all the east coast warblers will be great to add to our year list, and maybe get some lifers in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
