Pete Thayer's Favorite Hot Spots:
Brigantine Division - Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge
39.27 N 74.27 W
If the slot machines in Atlantic City took all your quarters, you can always walk the boardwalk at Brigantine to look for Saltmarsh's Sharp-tailed Sparrow. Drive the dikes to see Waterfowl and Shorebirds. Best in May and August.

Cape May
38.56 N 74.57 W
Hawks "funnel" into Cape May each fall, making this the best spot on the East Coast for raptors. Fantastic for warblers and other migrating birds in spring and fall. One of the top 10 spots in North America.
