Delaware State Park is located 5 miles north of the city of Delaware off of
Rte 23. I visited the park on the 21st & 22nd (Mon & Tues) Below is a list
of some of the Birds seen there lately

A good plan to Bird at Delaware St Pk is to go first to the Campground
parking lot. Nearby is a Maintenance Rd (also called Sailboat Rd) that goes
to the lake. This is where Lakeview Trail starts. There are nice maps at
all the Trail heads. In the area of the intersection is a great place to
begin Birding. I spent an hour in this spot both mornings while there was a
lot of activity. I then travel the rest of Lakeview Trail. After that I go
to Mink Trail, which follows a creek to continue Birding


Another good place is the Beach area. The light sand helps the Osprey &
Bald Eagle to spot the fish in the water. They are a common sight to see
circling the beach looking for fish. There is a path through the woods at
the left
part of the beach. In addition, walking the beach road is good birding.
This road has little traffic
