Program Features Bird Studies

COURT HOUSE. - The Cape May Court House Neigborhood Association will present an evening, slide program focusing on Cape May's significance as the most ornithologically studied area in North America. Clay Sutton will present the program, entitled "Bird Studies at New Cape May." 7:30 p.m. at the Old Court House Building, Friday, Oct. 18. Cape May's bird life has been studied since the early 1800's, when artist and ornithologist Alexander Wilson visited Cape May . later John James Audubon studied Cape May County's bird life. IN MORE recent times Dr. Witmer Stone annotated Cape May's changing bird life as it related to a changing Cape May in his classic work. Bird Studies at Old Cape May, published in 1937. Today's ornithological research is carried on by the Cape May Bird Observatory. Friday night's program will chronologically weave the story of Cape May's changing avifauna since the 1930's into an overview of the important habitats and open space on which it is so dependent. SUTTON IS the Environmental Program Administrator at the County Department of Health, where he has worked since 1973. A native of Stone Harbor, he returned to the area after attending Gettysburg

College, where he majored in Biology. He later completed his master's degree in Environmental Education at Glassboro State College. Sutton is on the board of directors for the New Jersey Audubon Society, past chairman of the Conservation Committee, and a member of the board of advisors for the Cape May Bird Observatory; and he has often contributed articles to publications of each. THE SPEAKER has recently served as an adjunct professor of a bird studies course at Stockton State College, and in 1984 was appointed the Coastal Plain editor for the Hawk Migration Association of North America. Numerous articles by Sutton on Cape May's bird life have appeared over the years in local ornithological publications, including recently "A Six

Year Study of Wintering Eagle Populations and Wintering Eagle Habitat in Southern New Jersey" was published in Cassinia. the journal of the Delaware Valley Ornithological Club. This article won the DVOC's venerable "Witmer Stone Award" for excellence in research. HIS INTEREST in the area's ornithology grew out of a long family tradition of fishing and hunting where much time was spent out-of-doors. His desire to document the ornithological significance of Cape May has culminated in this continuation of Witmer Stone's great work and is conveyed in his program, "Bird Studies at NEW Cape May." Seating is limited, and advanced reservations are recommended. For tickets call 465-4977 evenings or write CMCHNA, P.O. Box 502, Cape May Court House. NJ 08210.
