DESCRIPTION:Photograph by Andy Ednie \n\n\n\nBlue-gray Gnatcatcher by Michael Moore\n\n\n\nBetween 1967 and 1977\, DOS members conducted weekly bird surveys to collect data on thebirdlife in one of New Castle County’s most diverse hotspots. Fifty years later\, DOS is repeatingthe surveys and the Red Knot Youth Birders are going to help! Much like the Christmas BirdCount\, the data that we contribute will be directly used to support bird conservation in Delaware.*Annual parks pass or daily pass required. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to Jessica at redknotyouthbirders@gmail.com so we’ll know to expect you. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet at the Nature Center Parking Lot- 1475 Creek Rd\, Newark\, DE 19711

SUMMARY:White Clay Creek State Park Bird Survey
DESCRIPTION:Photograph by Andy Ednie \n\n\n\nJoin the survey! \n\n\n\nDelaware’s piedmont area is only 10% of the land mass\, but has the largest\, most diverse biodiversity in the state. The White Clay Creek State Park is the 4th highest ranked top birding spot in New Castle County and 49th largest Delaware area bird list by Cornell University’s eBird data base. This list is growing as more hours are spent birding the area. The purpose of this bird survey is to evaluate the avifauna potential in a systematic two-year study and add to the knowledge of the park.  The survey takes 3-4 hours and covers about 3 miles. The park was originally surveyed in 1976-1977 with weekly surveys over 24 months. That data was published in the Delmarva Ornithologist. \n\n\n\nYellow-throated Warbler by Carolyn Holland\n\n\n\nPlan:Date: January 2\, 2026 – December 31\, 2027Frequency: Weekly\, alternate Thursday/SaturdayCoverage: North and South sections split by Hopkins and Pleasant Hill Roads.Data Entry: Checklists will be recorded by eBird along with weather\, observers and effort.Volunteer Hours: recorded on separate volunteer sheet.Goals:Count the total number of birds in the park over a 24-hour period weekly for 2 years.Document status and population of bird species.Locate critical areas for unusual species.Increase usage for birding activitiesMonitor volunteer hours (between 350-750 hrs./yr) \n\n\n\nCensus Dates: The dates for the weekly bird census may be modified based on the consensus of thegroup. Changes to the schedule can occur in response to weather conditions or other unforeseen factorsthat may affect census activities. \n\n\n\nCensus dates for 2026 are as follows: \n\n\n\nThursday\, April 23Thursday\, August 27Thursday\, December 31Saturday\, May 2Saturday\, September 5 Thursday\, May 7Thursday\, September 10 Saturday\, May 16Saturday\, September 19 Thursday\, May 21Thursday\, September 24 Saturday\, May 30Saturday\, October 3 Thursday\, June 4Thursday\, October 8 Saturday\, June 13Saturday\, October 17 Thursday\, June 18Thursday\, October 22 Saturday\, June 27Saturday\, October 31 Thursday\, July 2Thursday\, November 5 Saturday\, July 11Saturday\, November 14 Thursday\, July 16Thursday\, November 19 Saturday\, July 25Saturday\, November 28 Thursday\, July 30Thursday\, December 3 Saturday\, August 8Saturday\, December 12 Thursday\, August 13Thursday\, December 17 Saturday\, August 22Saturday\, December 26 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhite Clay Creek Nature Center by Andy Ednie \n\n\n\nMeet at the White Clay Creek Nature Center at 8:00 am.
