Founded in 1975 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' interests and
needs.
