It was a quiet afternoon in Cape Henlopen State Park and we only saw nine species. First, we birded the Fishing Pier and saw these birds: surf scoter, bufflehead, double-crested cormorant, ring-billed gull, and herring gull. Next we went to The Point but only birded near the parking lot area. By the bay side, we saw song sparrow, field sparrow (two eating grass seeds along the sandy path), common loon, and two bald eagles along the lighthouse jetty. On the beach, we saw ring-billed gull, double-crested cormorant, and herring gull.

The icture of the Field Sparrow is “frame worthy.” Such beautiful shot! Are you amazed at the amount of different birds are in our area?
You’re welcome. We’ve known for some time that this area has a great variety of birds. There is so much to see here. We enjoy watching (and photographing) them a lot.
