From the Field: Spring 2019 on Delaware Bay

Another spring migration season on Delaware Bay has passed. Shorebirds gathered on the beaches, horseshoe crabs crowded the water, and volunteers from near and far took action. Take a look back with us to celebrate this most wonderful time of year at WHSRN’s first site.

These Semipalmated Sandpipers search for their next meal of horseshoe crab eggs.

Red Knots, Sanderlings, Ruddy Turnstones, and Semipalmated Sandpipers feast on horseshoe crab eggs on Delaware Bay.

Many hands make light work when the students from Haddonfield Memorial High School are out.

A quick flip in the hot sun and this horseshoe crab is headed back to the water.
