Around 6pm At Nauti Spirits Distillery P24-32
Sunday Social Fund For Coast Guard At Fins P41-47
Last Saturday at Congress Hall marked the fifth annual Ice Ball, a very glam shindig. The evening — which featured cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, dancing and fancy ice sculptures — benefited The Fund for Cape May, a nonprofit which takes on community preservation and beautification projects. (We’re looking at you, Rotary Park.) This year, in partnership with the city, the goal is expanding the War Memorial at Columbia Avenue and Gurney Street into a public park that should be complete by 2020. Good on all the active (and gussied-up) citizens who participated! More photographs inside and in next week’s issue! Above: The Howard and Queen Street beach crew. Left: Congress Hall gang.

SOME INTERESTING CAPE MAY TRIVIA AND FUN FACTS
Weird Sea Creature
Did You Know?
What We’re Reading
The Ugly Animal Preservation Society, which raises the profile of the world’s “aesthetically challenged” creatures, crowned the blobfish the world’s ugliest animal. We’re not sure the poor thing needs its profile raised. On SNL, Kate McKinnon has played an unattractive mermaid that is 65 percent blobfish. And, in a Credit Karma commercial, a man is so distraught over his poor credit that he carries a blobfish support animal onto a plane. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, the blobfish looks like “a big, blobby tadpole.” We think he looks more like a cute little guy merely in need of a hug.
Cape May, recently named second best birdwatching destination in the world by National Geographic, has serious birding roots. In the early 1800s, the father of American ornithology, Scotsman Alexander Wilson, traveled here to catalog birds. In 1976, Cape May Bird Observatory was founded by New Jersey Audubon. The movement gained momentum, thanks in part to preservation of open space. In 1981, 215 acres known as South Cape May Meadows were designated a bird sanctuary. Three years later, The World Series of Birding, which draws more than 1,000 birders, was launched.

Where We’re Eating
Here’s what the EZ team had for dinner this week
E
very week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or, maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked about) and who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served us and, you know, the general vibe. The place: The Blue Pig Tavern at Congress Hall. The server: Frankie. He’s smiley, knowledgeable and totally backs us up on the notion that no cherry should ever be smashed in an Old Fashioned cocktail. “Unless the bartender is having a really bad day and needs to take out some aggression,” he says. The furniture: Brown Room couches, chairs and tables have temporarily taken up residence in the Pig’s atrium and patio areas while the bar is under renovation. Word on the street is the new spot may be finished by the time you read this. The drinks: A Bulleit Rye Manhattan then an Old Fashioned for Jack. Two Old Fashioneds for Katie. And a Pomegranate Martini for Diane because she likes her drinks like she likes her men: full of seeds. Wait, that’s not right. The conversation: Jack and Diane admit they’ve watched the first couple episodes of Russian Doll on Netflix but don’t understand all the hype. Katie chastises Diane for using her favorite non-curse curse — “Lord and Taylor!” — at least three times in the course of one dinner. Katie then introduces the table to a game that involves linking actors based on who they’ve worked with. Jack figures out there’s only three degrees of separation between Leonardo DiCaprio and John Travolta (Leo was in The Departed with Martin Sheen, who was in Badlands with Sissy Spacek, who was in Carrie with Travolta) and he’s quite pleased with himself. Thank god, too, because he’s a sore loser, says Diane. The run-in: Hello to Pete and Lorraine Baldwin, EZ Burns Supper regulars, at a cozy two-top by the window. According to word on the street (Facebook), they were celebrating an anniversary. The food: We ordered Maryland crab soup, caesar salad, fries and a medium burger topped with egg and mushroom, a quinoa and barley salad with pickled red onions, and chicken schnitzel with mushroom gravy and brussel sprouts. Not a crumb was spared. The end: Until next time, may your week be smashed-cherryfree.

Ramblings From The Editor

Ideas, idle gossip and occasionally important odds ’n’ ends... by Jack Wright
y home nation of Scotland doesn’t usually inspire associations with healthy living. It’s the place that invented the deep-fried pizza, deep-fried candy (Snickers et al) and, actually, will deep fry anything that moves (or doesn’t). We’re also usually near the top of the league tables when it comes to alcoholism and heart disease. No wonder my hypochondriac mother-in-law was soooo excited her daughter was marrying a Scotsman. But... my wife emailed me a story the other day that gives us all hope. Scottish doctors are issuing what’s being called “nature prescriptions.” Doctors in the northerly island of Shetland are urging people to help treat chronic health issues — anything from diabetes to high blood pressure — with activities like hiking, birdwatching, beachcombing and even skipping pebbles across a river or ocean. “We would like this to be picked up by other areas,” said Helen Moncrieff, a
wind and rain on your face.” I love this idea, especially since the idea of going to a gym or plodding along the side of the road for several miles has never held any allure for me. As I write, I’m planning on feeling the wind and rain on my face as I walk those lovely trails at Cape May Point State Park. Was impressed to see there was another packed house for the fifth annual Ice Ball at Congress Hall on Saturday. I didn’t attend this year, but how can you not appreciate an event that raises so much damn money for public projects? Following on from the wildly successful renovation of Rotary Park, the next project is turning the war memorial, which occupies an awkward spot at Columbia and Gurney, into a park. As we went to press I didn’t have a count of how many tens of thousands of dollars were raised on Saturday via ticket sales and an auction, but I will fill you in next week. Until next time... go take a hike!
³ health manager in the Shetlands. “There is so much evidence that nature is good for us, and this is a simple way to get people outdoors and experiencing nature.” The local authority has published a calendar, with the help of a birdwatching society, that’s filled with suggestions aimed at getting people outdoors. Follow the clouds in the sky, the programs suggests. Or stare out to sea and watch for whales or dolphins. On a typically blustery Scottish day, close your eyes and “feel the exhilaration of

Bartender Of The Week
THE WINE BAR @ THE WASHINGTON INN
We’re open February 14 - 17 Reopening for the season on Friday, April 5
This week, Erica Cunha from Lucky Bones is up. How long have you been bartending? 20 years. Favorite drink to serve? The Campfire. We actually have to roast the marshmallows on top! I sense a bit of sarcasm there! What’s your bartending pet peeve? When customers yell out, hey you! If you weren’t a bartender, what would you want to be? Working in the fashion industry.
Chef’s Signature Dish Place: The Ebbitt Room Chef: Jason Hanin Signature dish: I’d have to say the char-grilled oysters. They bring me back to when I visited New Orleans and I totally gorged myself on them! These are an interpretation I created specifically for The Ebbitt Room. The balance of umani, brine and sweetness are like an explosion of flavor in your mouth.
Wine Of The Week Collier’s Liquor Store El Chaparral — De Vega Sindoa $13.99 Navarra, Spain: This is a terrific value in old vine Grenache, most of which are 60-100 years old. Attractive raspberry flavors dominate the palate with hints of cherry, spice and herbs also surfacing. *Mention this blurb and get 10% off this bottle!

The Discount Deck Ambush
Every week we walk the streets of Cape May, handing out goodies! We like to wander the streets of Cool (or Cold) Cape May, giving stuff away to locals and visitors. This year we are giving away a discount to enjoy at one of the top restaurants, stores, salons or activities, courtesy of the fabulous Exit Zero Discount Deck! If you don’t know what this is, you oughta! We also call it Vacation in a Box because it contains 50 great discounts to one of your favorite Cape May places — from $3 off fudge to $15 off dinner. It’s the real deal, and it only costs $20 for the entire pack. This week we bumped into Justin Sweeney from Cape May, who was out buying butter to bake bread because he’s bored on this rainy day! We asked him to pick a card from the deck to enjoy. He picked out a $10 discount for Harpoons on the Bay. And who would he like to share this discount with? His good wife Jan.

Terry O’Brien’s legendary column... social satire, shameless plugs — and general self-indulgence
appy Valentine’s Day from your favorite heartless bastard. It’s a sunny Sunday morning as I write to you this week, again, from the friendly confines of the Exit Zero Filling Station gastender booth. It’s 25 degrees outside, which is absolutely balmy compared to the Hoth-like conditions of last week. (Could have sworn I saw a droid blooping around here scanning for signs of intelligent life. ) It’s been an interesting winter out here at the gas station. I’m learning a lot about the various kinds of gas caps and such. Some cars don’t even have gas caps any more! Can you believe it!?! Also, about 50% of my customers don’t even want a receipt for their credit card purchase. Crazy. (Look, 10 hours a day in the cold waiting for cars to pull in… you take your entertainment where you can get it.) But I’ve mostly discovered that (most) people are pretty nice. And a majority of them would have traded Wentz for draft picks if Nick Foles had managed to win another Super Bowl.
Pro Tip: If you want to feel really bad at your menial labor job that consists of doing one thing correctly and create a gigantic, unwanted expense for your boss who’s already dealing with the mental and financial stress of a major renovation, be sure to put 15 gallons of unleaded in a diesel tank. Not that I would ever make such a stupid mistake. Ahem... By the time you read this we’ll be but a few days from wrapping up the Seventh Annual Beatles Night, Cape May, with our second show at the venerable Ugly Mug (Sun-
day, 8-12), unless you’re reading this on Monday, in which case you missed it. Jerk. I’m always thrilled to be able to take the stage with my amazing band, Love Me Dudes (Herb Moore, Terry Dougherty, Rachel Husta, Sue Polcer and Al Olivero), and play some of the greatest pop music ever written. It’s also going to be great playing the Mug, where I cut my teeth as a young man sitting in with the late, lamented Southwind. (Everyone’s still alive, as of this writing; they just broke up around 2003). We’ll return Friday, March 15, back at Carney’s (who hosted our first show this year last month) to play a fundraiser for the Polar Bear Plunge! So much Beatles. Thank god they were a pretty good band. Ticking Clock of the Week: As Saturday hurtles towards us and The Brown Room in Congress Hall speeds through completion of their renovation, O’Brien & Joyce hang in the balance. WILL they be able to play their 3pm-7pm gig? WILL the new bar be ready? WILL I wear a black dress shirt and corduroy blazer for the 117th consecutive gig? (It’s like

Mission: Impossible if it starred a pasty musician instead of Tom Cruise.) Find out along with us on Saturday afternoon. If we’re not there, head down to the Boiler Room for some great pizza and come back to see us on Sunday, March 17. On St Patrick’s Day! It seems such a natural fit. Cape May gadabout John Cooke sure thinks so. Guess we better learn a few Irish songs. The only one we play now is “(I’m Gonna Be) 500 Miles” by The Proclaimers. Prior to that, on St Patrick’s Day day, we’ll be making our debut at Nauti Spirits, where the rum flows like wine. Man. Me. In two drinking establishments. On St Patrick’s Day. The struggle is real… I’m also still serving as the Exit Zero delivery guy because sleep is for losers. By now, most establishments have resigned themselves to the fact that I am not hunka-hunka burnin’ love Mike DeMusz, the regular delivery guy who’s currently and frantically (well, as frantically as the sedate Mr DeMusz gets) working on finishing up the super-cool, ultra-secret Exit Zero Filling Station renovation. (I got a ribbing from my editor, Jack Wright, for revealing too much last week, which is odd, since he decides what goes in my column and doesn’t…) Mike and his team (Jose Ramos) are cursing up a storm getting the place ready. If you listen closely, you can hear the shimmering wind, the gentle roar of the ocean and Jose yelling “sunny beach!” Tim Joyce, Aleksey Moryakov and, especially, Suzanne Kulperger: I profusely apologize for ever calling any of your photographs “candids.” (Suzanne brought the heat last week, I have been properly cowed…) Matt Reeves with the $5 tip! My man! Matt is not only a good dude (who tried to murder me with a tree branch last fall outside Sunset Liquors, long story), but is a pretty spiffy bartender, as well, down at the Mad Batter. My fellow travelers in the service industry are always the best tippers. Even the ones that don’t
February 14, 2019 particularly like me. So, most of them. One-time arch nemesis Jim Linnington (I would jab him in my column, he would counterpunch in his ads, good times…) gave me a couch last week! Nice, right? He asked if I needed help moving it, I told him I had a guy, he said, “I KNEW IT!” Please, Jim. You wish. Anyway, to show my appreciation you should all go eat at Red Brick Ale House on Bayshore Road in North Cape May. A+ American cuisine and super-good brick oven pizzas. My favorite: The Flame. So hot. So good. Pairs well with a margarita. Or four. I spend a decent amount of time at Sunset Liquors (not drinking, but buying smokes, which is probably worse since I want to run a half-marathon in eight months) and am always treated well, despite rarely buying any liquor. Katie O’Hara, Eddie Behrens and Zach Smith, along with countless others whose names I’m too lazy to write down, are a friendly, knowledgeable group, always ready to help me find their finest, cheapest bottle of red wine when I want to get my wife drunk enough to make out with me. I think I’m keeping the beard. Since I’m out of ideas and still have a couple paragraphs to kill, let me tell you my upcoming performance schedule! O’Brien & Joyce, Brown Room: 3/17 (7-11) & 4/20 (3-7). Nauti Spirits: 3/17.(3-6) Love Me Dudes, Carney’s: 3/15, 4/19 (7-11) & 5/27 (3-7 Open Mic Jam!) The Strangers Billy Joel tribute, Cabanas: 4/6 & 5/4. Anglesea Pub, 4/20.(All 8-12). O’Brien & Joyce will be returning to the Beach Shack at Rusty Nail on alternating Sundays and Mondays starting May 6. I’m deep into negotiations for a series of summer tribute shows, but still piecing things together, so stay tuned. Yes, I know The Proclaimers are Scottish. That’s the joke... ’Til next week, don’t get caught in The Undertow.

The Old Fogey
Ah, those good old Cape May days... by Jackson D’Catur
H
ave you received your Valentine’s Day gifts from me? I am sure it might have gone unnoticed in the tsunami of amusing cards, vaguely suggestive chocolates and posies of flowers from that wonderful Exit Zero gas station (I am not even sure they sell flowers, but my annual contract with them, as an “effluencer” dictates that I mention them once in every conversation in order to collect my 25 cents a month) but really, I urge you to dig deep, as those 300 of you who have received something from me really should refrigerate the presents quickly. What, you thought that a human heart in a cherub-decorated box would stay fresh forever? I assure you that just because they were still beating when removed from the chests of our willing-ish sacrifices, does not mean they will soon spoil. And don’t accuse me of being thrifty — you know that chief among the reasons our fair city remains prosperous, happy and busy is the annual ceremony to honor The Old Gods. This eclectic mix of deities includes some Norse gods, a couple of Celtic ones and several central and south American ones, chief
among them Huitzilopochtli, who legend has it used to summer in Cape May. It is merely a happy (for me and you, rather than the volunteers) coincidence that this comes right at the same time as Valentine’s Day. Did you know that receiving a human heart is THE most sincere declaration of love? Where did you think the whole romantic heart thing came from? Anyways, be aware, you lucky 300, that I adore you all, and that unless you cross me in some unexpected and trivial manner, you will
continue to open your Valentine’s Day mail to find a bloody token of my love. Should you irk me, you may indeed find yourself a future gift in a small soggy box, but let’s not dwell on that here and now, eh? While we are on the subject of love, let me dispense some invaluable advice. If you receive a card that is meant to be and yet is not amusing, and is not handwritten, then you must gently set it down, reach for the nearest stout stick and give your beloved a sound thrashing, for they are not worthy. Likewise, a balloon signifies a gifter who cares more for themselves than for you. And who is, like their token, nowt but a flimsy shell full of gas. A dozen red roses should prompt you to ask the pointed question: “So, tell me, what is my favorite color and flower?” If you see a blank look, then it’s all over. If they tell you and the answer is not accurately “red” and “rose”, then it’s all over. If you have been given a “humorous” card, a heartshaped balloon and a dozen wilting red flowers from that excellent Exit Zero gas station, then I suggest you fetch my own gift you you, cook it and serve it to the wretch!

The Movie Column
M
elissa McCarthy... I’ve never seen any of her movies. She seems to not take herself so seriously — at least by most of the film previews I’ve seen — and there’s nothing in her previous movies that compelled me to go. In her film, Can You Ever Forgive Me, she is trying to be considered more for her acting than her comedy. It seems comedic actors come to a place in their careers where they want more than just laughs. They want some recognition for their craft. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn’t. In the case of this film, it works for McCarthy. She plays Lee Israel, a true life writer/ biographer who is clearly past her prime. She had one book on The New York Times bestseller list... now she’s in a long, dry spell. Her agent, played by SNL freshman class alum Jane Curtin, flat out tells her client she is not going to be pursued by any publisher. As she’s doing research for a new biography, she comes across an original letter from the subject of her book, early 20th century
By Tom Sims of Cape May Film Society
actress and comedian Fanny Brice. She sells the letter to a collector for $75. The buyer tells her if the note had a little more engaging narrative it would be more valuable. That gets Lee to thinking. What happens next? She creates an entire counterfeit memorabilia letter-writing factory. Dorothy Parker, Marlene Dietrich, she is writing again —albeit cashing in on other people’s celebrity (but at least in her own words). And she’s making a lot of money selling those to collectors throughout New York City.
There is only one problem. The fakes are being investigated. With the help of a colorful friend, played wonderfully by Richard Grant, she continues to sell for a little while longer. But how long will it last? McCarthy is brilliant, and she’s received her first Oscar nomination for best actress. Let’s look at her Golden Globe nomination. That award program has a vast field with two buckets for every category: comedy and drama. She didn’t win, but McCarthy was nominated in the drama category. I would suspect she considers that a home run. This Oscar nod is her second — her first was for supporting actor in Bridesmaids (2011). Grant was also nominated for his supporting actor role in this film (his first). The art direction in the film is outstanding... placing you unmistakably smack dab in the 1990s. The director, a relative newcomer, millennial Marielle Heller, is one to watch. This story of forgery (let’s face it, a victimless crime) gets genuine high marks on many counts!

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, the sweet temptations of chocolate
umans have been consuming chocolate-like products for something like 5000 years, experimenting all the while with methods of harvest, farming and preparation designed to most efficiently deliver this magic product into our bodies. From its earliest use in Central America, cacao was highly valued — the beans were used in medicine, religion and as currency. Cacao was credited with the power to cure stomach upset, chest congestion, impotence and lethargy. Early preparations embraced the bean’s natural bitterness, adding chili peppers, vanilla or savory spices and whipping the liquid into a sturdy foam for consumption at important feasts. Later, honey and sugar were added to create something akin to the chocolate liquids we know and love. The inclusion of the bean’s vegetable oil — cocoa butter — led to solid chocolate candy, marketed as a luxury for adults. The addition of milk powder in 1879 led to high-calorie products marketed as wholesome treats for children. With the great famines of the
19th century strong in the memory, parents eagerly incorporated the “fattening” treat into their children’s diets. Chocolate’s high-calorie count also makes it attractive for military use. The US military has included chocolate in emergency rations since 1937 with uneven results. In cold climates, chocolate can boost energy and morale, but in warm areas, chocolate deteriorates. Attempts to keep chocolate palatable at high temperatures have had limited success. Candy-coated M&Ms, designed to “melt in your mouth, not in your hands,” were popu-
lar, but messy in extreme environments. Hershey’s more recent attempts to provide chocolate to troops in Operation Desert Storm were not deemed viable. Civilian efforts to enjoy chocolate flavor in the summer heat include Yoo-hoo, a drink created in New Jersey by Natale Olivieri in the 1920s. Chocolate’s summer challenges are so great that many chocolate aficionados don’t even try — Nabisco’s Mallomars are only sold from September to March. Chocolate sales dip after Mother’s Day and pick back up for Halloween, making February prime chocolate season. Cape May’s chocolate lovers can enjoy their own feast — a buffet of chocolate desserts at the Washington Inn on Saturday, February 16, from 1:00 to 3:00. Admission is $40. Call 609-884-5697 for reservations. At Hawk Haven Winery, enjoy a Wine & Chocolate Wine Trail Weekend on February 16 and 17. Doors open at 11am and admission is $14. Sample eight wines and four gourmet chocolate pairings. The first 50 women will receive a rose. Reservations are required for parties of six or more.

The Quicky Horoscopes Your near future in two sentences by Lady Diane
ARIES You think no one will notice if you take four free samples from the Original Fudge Kitchen tray for your “kids.” You are wrong. TAURUS You will keep ordering IPAs in order to prove you’re hipster enough to like hoppy beers. But you’re not. GEMINI You will finally reset the clock in your car after daylight savings. You will go too far and have to circle all the way back around again, proving that life’s a bitch. CANCER You will tell a really funny joke that no one hears. Then you will awkwardly try to work it into the conversation again. LEO You will name your Roomba. And you’ll talk to it when you think no one is listening. VIRGO You will adopt a dog from the Cape May County Animal Shelter, because you are a good human. You will name him Theodore Ward Franklin. LIBRA You will adopt a cat from the Cape May County Animal Shelter, because you are a masochist. You will name her Princess Catty McCatFace. SCORPIO You will eat more greens and drink more water. Except at midnight, when you will scarf a pint of Ben and Jerry’s without even scraping off the freezer burn, you pig. SAGITTARIUS You will get seven more calls from that automated guy who’s worried about your car warranty running out. You will contemplate throwing your phone into the bay. CAPRICORN You will get 14 more LinkedIn requests via email. You will contemplate throwing yourself into the Delaware Bay. AQUARIUS You’ll see a lone seagull hanging by the water’s edge. You will paint her like one of your French girls. PISCES You will make a vow to attend more Cape May city council meetings because it’s good to be an active citizen. You will catch up on old episodes of This Is Us instead.

The Answer Lady
T
he Answer Lady invites inquiries from gentle readers on all manner of relationship quandaries, matters of the heart and ethics. If you’d like to send a query, write to info@exitzero. us. Or, simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate the wisdom herein. Dear Answer Lady I am engaged to man who has six children with his former wife — ages 12 to 24. During the holidays we held a party to introduce our family and friends. My son is married to a woman with a 12-year-old boy from a previous marriage — but my fiancé refused to invite him to the party. I said nothing. The night of the party, my daughter-in-law saw that there were other children at the party and she confronted my fiancé. He told her it was his party and he’d invite whomever he chose, and then told her and my son to leave. Naturally, they are now refusing to attend the wedding. Is there any way to resolve this mess? — Stuck in the Middle Dear Stuck Shame on your fiancé for being so mean. Shame on your daughter-in-law for putting
Wise answers to perplexing questions
you in such a precarious position. This is what happens when people throw manners out the window. The Answer Lady has no wisdom to impart — the ship has sailed. Unless one of the offending parties is given to remorse and apologizes, your son will not be at your wedding or a least not with his wife in attendance. Visit The Ebbitt Room lounge. Treat yourself to a cheese and charcuterie platter and a great glass of wine and think about why you are marrying this guy and why you didn’t protest your son and daughter-in-
law’s dismissal from the party. If it was out of fear, you really need to move on before it’s too late. Dear Answer Lady My wife asked me how she looked in this dress she was going to wear at a dinner we were attending. I said it made her look a little chunky. Two months out and I’m still paying for that comment. Was I supposed to tell her she looked great and let it go and then hear about it when she realized she looked chunky when she isn’t? And by the way, the dress she did wear looked fabulous. AND I told her so. — Dog House Resident Dear Dog House Ahhh, you fell prey to the oldest trick in the marital handbook. Honesty. It rarely pays. Diplomacy, my friend. Next time, restrain from making any blunt observations. Instead, ask her to try on another dress so that you “can compare the two.” And simply say — truthfully — “Honey, this one looks better. It accents all your good features.” Or something like that. Meanwhile, get yourself out to Cash and Clive and buy her a gift certificate.

Bird Droppings
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu
S
unday, February 10. If you happened to drive across the Nummy Island causeway that day, you couldn’t help but notice all the parked cars and trained spotting scopes. Early Sunday morning the call went out that a Gyrfalcon had been sighted on Nummy Island, a clarion call for local birders to muster to get a glimpse of this rare Arctic falcon. Let me qualify that. The birds are not rare. Having a circum-Arctic breeding range, these superlative aerialists are numerically common. The problem is, they rarely leave the Arctic even in winter. New Jersey sightings are rare, Cape May sightings almost nonexistent. Radio tracking studies have determined that most Gyrfalcons lead lives that are essentially pelagic and nomadic with birds patrolling the edge of the seasonal ice cap, making a decent living picking off ducks, gulls and alcids that flock to winter’s icy rim. So what was this bird doing here? Just cruising. I have a friend who once radio tracked a Gyr that spent the entire winter
cruising between Kodiak Island, Barrow and Siberia. All in a day’s work if you are a Gyra bird that “holdeth place of pride over even the Peregrine,” as King Frederick the Great noted in his treatise on falconry. Gyrfalcons are fast enough to fly down the fastest waterfowl in level flight. The vaulted Peregrine can manage this feat only by stooping. I’m willing to bet that there are a lot of Black Ducks and Brant around Hereford Inlet that hope the Gyrfalcon moves on
quickly. But it’s possible, given the wealth of wintering waterfowl here, that the bird will settle in for a few weeks, returning to its Arctic nest ledge in March, in prime health for the coming breeding season. For wintering raptors, it’s all about food. They travel when it’s scarce, they stay where they find abundance. If you care to learn more about the birds, you can go online or pick up a copy of my recent book Birds of Prey. Coauthored with local bird photographer Kevin Karlson, the raptor images will make you want to sell your system and start over. But in case you are a photographer, be mindful of the privacy needs of wintering raptors. Never approach so close that a bird of prey is forced to fly. When the bird fixes its eyes on you and stares, you are too close. Your next step should be a step backward. What’s more, flushing a greatly-aspired-to bird while scores of needy birders are lined up to see it is also not going to win you any friends. Stay on the shoulder of the road and in everyone’s good graces.

SCROOGE is a Maine Coon mix who was found in Cape May nibbling on some food when he was snatched and shoved in a carrier and brought to the shelter around Christmastime. Hence the name, Scrooge. You’d hiss too if you were grabbed and taken away from your tasty meal! But that was the past and he has since become a sweet boy.
JOY is exactly what she is. A pure joy! Just take a look at that sweet and innocent face. However, for this kitty cat there are things necessary to make her happy. She can show you and tell you in a face to face interview. Joy can see applicants between 1:30pm to 4pm at the shelter. So if you’re looking to bring some joy into your life, adopt today!

Overlooking Cape May Harbor and Fishermen’s Memorial Park is the site of this exquisite, custom designed and professionally decorated home.
