Birding Cape Cod 
|
Birding South Beach in Chatham is one of the premiere birding destinations on Cape Cod, particularly during the summer and fall when thousands of shorebirds, terns, and gulls feed and roost in the area. Although the beach is covered in the "Birding Cape Cod" guide, the geomorphology of the area is extremely dynamic, with dramatic changes occurring so frequently that published information can be obsolete before it reaches print. The web, however, provides an equally dynamic means of keeping visiting birders informed of up-to-date conditions, access, and birding potential. Click here for the latest on South Beach. |
Checklist of the This checklist contains 322 species that have been recorded on Cape Cod at least 10 times over the last 20 years. The taxonomic sequence follows the 7th edition of the American Ornithologist’s Union Checklist of the Birds of North America (1998) and subsequent supplements. Each species’ status through the seasons is shown by means of a bar graph. Published by the Cape Cod Bird Club, it is available from various outlets and sells for about $1.00. |
