Getting for the bird walk along the Brandywine

Delaware’s second annual Black Birders Week bird walk was held in perfect weather on June 1, 2024 at Brandywine Park in Wilmington. Cosponsored by Outdoor Afro, Delaware Nature Society, and Delaware Audubon, the walk rewarded the participants with a rich variety of birds, including numerous Osprey, an unexpected Common Merganser, and several sets of nesting American Robins. Ian Stewart of Delaware Nature Society and Joe Francis of Delaware Ornithological Society led the walk, and pointed out the distinctive features of birds seen for the participants who were fairly new to birding. Participants of the walk came from the Wilmington Area, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
