The Delmarva Birding Weekend

Location: Throughout the Delmarva Peninsula

April 22,2010 - April 25,2010

Celebrates the migration of thousands of warblers, shorebirds, waterfowl, and raptors. The Weekend combines boat trips, paddling treks, and expeditions by foot.

The Delmarva Peninsula possesses an extensive variety of environments, including barrier islands, tidal wetlands, cypress swamps, upland fields, and primeval forests. Field trips take place in the land and water that feed into the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, and the Atlantic coastal bays. More than 400 bird species have been recorded in the region. 204 species were talled during the 2009 event!

Participating birders will be helping birds by promoting bird and habitat conservation. Birders, both novice and experienced, can make an important statement about the economic value of birds and their habitats through low-impact tourism.
