Registration will open before March 1, 2025. Field trips listed below are from the 2024 event. We may change some field trip offerings before registration opens.

The 29th annual Spring Delmarva Birding Weekend will be hosted April 24 – 27, 2025 (we canceled the 2020 event due to covid). The event celebrates the amazing warblers, shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors that visit and live here on the peninsula. Since 1995, the Spring Delmarva Birding Weekend has combined boat trips, paddling treks, and expeditions on foot when migrating birds are arriving and passing through the peninsula for nesting season. The Delmarva region possesses an extensive variety of environments, including barrier islands, tidal wetlands, cypress swamps, upland fields and primeval forests. Late April is a great time to explore the shore to tally late-leaving winter species and newly arrived migrants. 153 species were tallied during the 2024 event!
