Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, Events, Activities, Delmarva Birding Week-End, Walk for the Animals, 4/21/10-4/25/10
Once again, as it does every season, Rehoboth Beach is wide awake. Were you here this week-end? It might as well have been the height of the season. There were 45 minute waits at some of the restaurants.
Parking meters are not in effect yet, but that will soon change.
There are a couple of events and activities that you might be interested in. Here they go:
It is called the Birding Week-End but it is really almost the whole week. This event celebrates the spring migration of thousands of warblers, shorebirds, waterfowl, and raptors. The Week-End combines boat trips, paddling treks, and expeditions by foot.
The event takes place from Wednesday, April 21st until Sunday, April 25th. There are over 40 trips covering the Delmarva Peninsula. The best way to get information is to go to their website, www.delmarvabirdingweekend.org. You may also contact the Delmarva Low-Impact Tourism Experiences, who is bringing this event to you at 443-614-0261, or the Worcester County Tourism at 800-852-0335.
The Delmarva Peninsula possesses an extensive variety of environments, including barrier islands, tidal wetlands, cypress swamps, upland fields, and primeval forests.
Field trips take place in the land and water that feed into the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays, and the Atlantic coastal bays. More than 400 bird species have been recorded in the region. 204 were tallied during the 2009 event.
Participating birders will be helping birds by promoting bird and habitat conservation.
There are going to be plenty of social events. One of them will be the Rehoboth Beach Tally Rally. This will take place on Friday, April 23rd from 5 – 7 p.m. at Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats in downtown Rehoboth Beach, 320 Rehoboth Ave. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
This is where Dogfish Head all began in 1995. A great place to meet fellow birders for a beer, a meal, or just stop to hear some birding tales.

Ajááááá, llegó la primavera POR FIN. ¿Esos son Canadian geese? Los muy graciosos se quedan en el mismo medio y no te dejan pasar. No son “ariscos” como las “gallinas del país”. Ja, eso de “arisco” no lo oía yo hace siglos.
Volviendo a los gansos, son preciosos cuando salen en bandadas formando saetas. Pero cuando están por tu camino, te tienes que salir tú a la grama para poder pasar. O sea, que además de hermosos, también son arrogantes.
No me sorprenden los anuncios de tantas actividades atractivas y tan orientadas hacia la naturaleza y qué bueno que tus nenes crecieron apreciándola. La verdad es que esta época es bellísima
A la verdad que hay muchas cosas por aqui para la primavera y el verano. En el otono cuando empieza la emigracion para el sur y ellos pasan son preciosos y hacen tremendo escandalo. Gracias por escribir al blog. Nos vemos y que paces un buen dia.
