Birding

Thanks to its location connected to many waterways right in the center of the Mid-Atlantic, Delaware is a great place to bird-watch. The forests, fields, freshwater ponds and coastal marshes are home to osprey and a wide variety of other bird species, as well as a popular stop-off for migratory birds on the Atlantic Flyway.

According to Visit Southern Delaware, some of the best birding locations in the area are Abbott’s Mill Nature Center in Milford, Assawoman Wildlife Refuge in Frankford, Cape May-Lewes Ferry, Delaware Seashore State Park in Rehoboth Beach, Trap Pond State Park in Laurel, Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes and Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Milton.

Several of our locations are great for bird watching, including The Marina at Pepper’s Creek and Hawthorne!
