Explore the Forest Discovery Tree Trail at Bombay Hook!
The Delaware Ornithological Society sponsors a monthly bird walk, on the 4th Saturday of each month from September through April, which starts 8 am from the visitor center. The walks will utilize the newly completed Forest Discovery Tree Trail (2.7 miles) and last approximately 2 hours. Walks will take place rain-or-shine unless the weather is extreme (check www.DOSBirds.org or the DOS Facebook page). Bring sturdy shoes that can stand mud and moisture; water bottle; insect repellent; and, of course, binoculars if you have them (loaners will be available). A hand lens or loupe will also be handy if we stop to examine trees, flowers, mushrooms, lichens etc.
The walks will occur on the following dates:
- January 25, 2025
- February 22, 2025
- March 22, 2025
- April 26, 2025
- September 27, 2025
- October 25, 2025
- November 22, 2025
- December 27, 2025
We’ll meet in the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge Visitor’s Center parking lot in Smyrna, DE.
Refuge fees are in effect – $4 per car, or free entry with a 2024-2025 season duck stamp (or other special passes).
