SUMMARY:Late Afternoon Bird Walk at the DuPont Environmental Education Center/Russell W. Peterson Refuge with Joe Francis
DESCRIPTION:Bald Eagle by Carolyn Holland \n\n\n\nExplore Delaware’s Premier Urban Wildlife Refuge!\n\n\n\nEnd the week on a positive note with a leisurely walk at the Russell W. Peterson Refuge. These walks will begin roughly 2 hours before sunset\, allowing opportunity to check out roosting waterfowl\, shorebirds\, rails\, wrens and blackbirds. Crepuscular sightings of muskrat\, beaver and river otter are possible. We will walk about two miles\, mostly on boardwalk. Beginners are welcome\, so bring a friend who is new to birding. Thanks to regular pedestrian traffic and security patrols from the Wilmington Riverfront\, this has been a safe area even after dark. \n\n\n\nMeet by the Russell Peterson statue in the parking area for the DuPont Environmental Education Center.  Those interested in more information may contact Joe at jfrancismd@verizon.net.
