July 4th fireworks displays take place in both Avalon & Stone Harbor, and are visible from the beach and many other locations on the Island!
A FOUR-DAY FOURTH! What could be better than a four-day weekend in Avalon & Stone Harbor, complete with fireworks displays in each town? A multitude of activities take place on the Island this week, offering a chance to relax, have fun, and celebrate our nation’s birthday!
DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANTS are taking over Gull Island, in the back bay behind Stone Harbor, according to an Atlantic City Press article. Their population has more than tripled, climbing from 30 in 2013 to 111 now. The chief concern of state biologists is that other wading birds are being driven out of the area as the cormorant population increases. Read the article here: https://www.
MONARCH BUTTERFLIES are expected to visit Armacost Park in Avalon’s south-end, after the establishment of a new pollinator habitat in the park. Formerly a mowed lawn, the new habitat features herbaceous perennials and woody species to attract migratory pollinators and birds. Monarch butterflies, which migrate 2,000 miles to Mexico, often stop in Cape May County before crossing the Delaware Bay, and the new pollinator habitat will provide critical nesting and food resources along the way.
COUNCILMAN CHUCK COVINGTON bid farewell to Avalon’s Borough Council after serving as a member for 28 years. Covington served on the Recreation, Insurance, and Technology committees during his time on council, and was the liaison with the Avalon Free Public Library.
