The following photo galleries present a visual journey to Cape May, NJ and surrounding environs. Since Cape May is internationally renowned for its fantastic bird migration, the main focus of these galleries is birds; yet, you will also find that there are many other wonderful images pertaining to different aspects of nature, such as butterflies, mammals, reptiles and general landscape scenes.
