eggs on the beach
One of Delaware’s best wildlife shows is happening right now along the shore of the Delaware Bay. Horseshoe Crabs are laying their eggs and a variety of birds including gulls, Red Knots, Semi-palmated Sandpipers, Ruddy Turnstones, Dunlin, Short-billed Dowitchers and Willet are coming to feast on the eggs. You can see the birds in action from Kitts Hummock (east of Dover) to Slaughter Beach. But hurry, this show will only last for a few more days as many of the migrants will head north to breed.
