Birds of the Delaware Bay Coast
Friday - April 27
Time: 1-3:30 p.m.
Location: The Rookery Golf Course near Milton, DE
Cost: $25 per person
The Delaware Bay shoreline and its adjacent uplands offer the most diverse birding opportunities in southern Delaware - from salt marsh and bay beach to freshwater ponds and rich, deciduous woodlands. We'll sample each of the main habitat types looking for migrants and local breeders, including wading birds, shorebirds, rails, and colorful songbirds like prairie and prothonotary warblers, and scarlet tanagers. The trip will involve some easy walking, and car caravans between major stops. Meet at the entrance to the Rookery Golf Course. Don't miss the 5 p.m. tally rally at Dogfish Head Restaurant in nearby Rehoboth Beach!
