2025—Delaware Willet

We had a great first day in Delaware. There were plenty of birds, despite winds that made us uber cautious about letting go of our tripods. Near the DuPont Nature Center which is part of the Milford Neck Nature Preserve where the Mispillion River and Cedar Creek meet and flow out into Delaware Bay, we saw flocks of shorebirds. As the afternoon tides began to ebb, a Willet, just inches away from a partially submerged Horseshoe Crab, searched the shallow waters for Horseshoe Crab eggs and other delicacies.
