Join Sony Artisan Melissa Groo alongside Unique Photos Bobby Stormer for an immersive weekend in one of the top birding destinations in the world—Cape May. This community-driven event is designed to bridge the gap between birders, nature lovers, and photography enthusiasts of all levels. Whether you’re a beginner, advanced photographer, or passionate birder without a camera, you’ll gain hands-on experience capturing birds in their natural habitats while learning to do so ethically and responsibly.

From warblers and raptors to waterfowl and owls, Cape May’s fall migration offers endless opportunities. Through classes, photowalks, and real-world guidance, you’ll learn essential techniques such as working with light, mastering composition, capturing behavior, and photographing birds in flight. Sony loaner gear will also be available throughout the weekend.

Discover the beauty, history, and importance of Cape May while connecting with a community that shares your passion.
