A fantastic birding experience--take this trip! - One of the best birding experience I have had EVER! Captain Bob, and Vince, our Naturalist are superb at finding birds in the waters around Cape May, and navigating the boat so we had great veiws. They are extremely personable as well. I added 9 birds to my life list, and got some amazing photos too. I plan to cruise on the Osprey again!
