Description:
All-day driving trip to the Delaware shore, stops to include Indian River Inlet, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Entry into Delaware State Parks is free from December through February. Target species include wintering sea ducks, Great Cormorant, Northern Gannet, Brown-headed Nuthatch, Short-eared Owl, and maybe even a shot at Snowy Owl! Participants may pack a lunch, but we will also make a quick stop at Wawa. Be prepared for light to moderate hiking, especially at Cape Henlopen. There are restroom facilities at Indian River (portable toilets), Cape Henlopen, Cape May Ferry Terminal, and of course at Wawa. Email the leader to reserve a spot. Meet at the Broken Land Park and Ride Lot West at 6:00 a.m. and plan to carpool.
