Founder to Recall Hawk Watch ' - . L • N

WEST CAPE MAY - The Cape May Geographic Society's slide program, "Hawk Watch in' the./ Shadow of a Light," will be presented by Peter Dunne 8:30 p.m. tomorrow at the Municipal Building on Broadway. Peter Dunne, 33-year-old director of New Jersey Audubon Society's Cape May Bird Observatory, will describe the passage of 18 species of birds of prey thiough Cape May Point, 7 kite of the largest fall migration in the United States. \ \ IN 1931 Cape May Point's

first official fall hawk count was conducted by the National Audubon Society. Robert Allen, Roger Tory Peterson, and others conducted this first count; 1 14,080 hawks, including 40 bald eagles, were noted as < they migrated through Cape May's peninsula. This first count was carried out by Audubon Wardens along with their chief function, that of preventing gunners from shooting the very hawks the wardens were counting. Until the early 30s gunners lined Sunset

Boulevard, where they l massacred thousands of migrating hawks, this was S then considered a sport . PETER DUNNE came to I Cape May ip 1976 to con- k duct the first official hawk _ count for the newly created ^ Cape May Bird Obser- S vatory. He had just com- l pleted one fall and ooe spring hawk watch at Raccoon ^ Ridge in northern New S Jersey.' Fall 1976, Peter ^ recorded 48,621 migrating raptors at Cape May, a ^ giant leap over the first S count in 1931, but then y hawk shooters were no longer a distraction. S Where do all these hawks ^ come from? Hawk banding ^ studies have shown that the ^ majority of hawks that are S| seen at Cape May come here from their summer kj nesting haunts in New ^ York, New England and S the eastern provinces of ^ Canada \ l Each species of hawk * migrates through on its ^ own specific timetable. Hie ^ migration lasts from midAugust to mid-December, N but is most spectacular L after cold fronts in earlyOctober S DUNNE IS well known to ^ many New Jersey birders as an accomplished field S trip leader This spring he S led a bird tour in Africa and ^ is looking ^forward to . leading several more in ' 1985 , S In 1982 he conducted a . hawk migration study for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife > Service in coastal Alaska Peter coordinates all of CMBO's hawk migration * studies, as well as the study * of spring shorebird concentrations along the Delaware Bay shore He has done the t definitive study of New f Jersey's breeding Northen " Harrier and is presently coordinating a survey of New Jersey's breeding Short -eared Owls. PETER IS the regional editor for both HMANA (Hawk Migration Association of North America ) and "Records of New Jersey Birds." He was recently chosen to be one of the North American represen tatives at the International Bird of Prey Conference to be held in Israel next March. Peter is also one of Bushnell's binocular field testers Dunne was instrumental in New Jersey Audubon Society's highly successful fund raiser, the "Bird-a-thon." A recent CMBO education project, the '"High School Hawk Watch", involves students from all over the state conducting their own hawk watch studies Since Dunne's arrival in 1976, CMBO has grown from a small table (with a CMBO sign painted oo it), a telephone, a -bird sign-in sheet, and a CMBO brochure to a full-fledged branch of the New Jersey Audubon Society involved in numerous research, education, and conferva tion projects Today CMBO is an organization of international repute Learn all there is to know about Cape May's hawk migration by joining Cape May Bird Observatory's first hawk watcher and current director.
