Bird Treks - A Quality Birdwatching Tour Company

Delaware Bay of New Jersey & Delaware

Warblers, Shorebirds & Horseshoe Crabs

Cape May Point State Park, Forsythe (Brigantine) NWR, Bombay Hook NWR, Cape Henlopen State Park, and many great locations along both sides of the Delaware Bay--we will visit all of these locations and several more on this extended Memorial Weekend Holiday Tour. The focus will be the Delaware Bay where, each spring, Horseshoe Crabs return to lay their eggs. Just as reliably, thousands of shorebirds and other aquatic species stop during their northbound migration to feed on the bountiful food supply. Expect Red Knot, Ruddy Turnstone, Semipalmated Sandpiper, and many additional species. We'll also look for migrant and breeding songbirds at Higbee Beach that may include Black-billed Cuckoo, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Blue Grosbeak, and Yellow-breasted Chat. We've even included a crossing on the Cape May-Lewes Ferry to find a few pelagic species, perhaps Wilson's Storm-Petrel and Parasitic Jaeger. This will be a great tour with many excellent birds in south Jersey and Delaware, and a few rarities almost to be expected. Bob Schutsky is your scheduled leader.
