Founded in 1976 by the New Jersey Audubon Society*, the Cape May Bird
Observatory (CMBO) is a leader in research, environmental education, bird
conservation, and recreational birding activities.
Our mission: to understand and instill appreciation of the needs of resident and
migrating birds so that human ambitions do not undermine them. Funded almost
entirely by the support of an international membership, two facilities serve our
members' needs and interests.
*New Jersey Audubon is a privately supported, not-for profit, statewide membership organization. Founded in 1897, and one of the oldest independent Audubon societies, NJ Audubon has no affiliation with National Audubon.
