Indian River Inlet Directions for Nov 18 Osher Birding Class

We will meet in the parking lot on the SOUTH side of the inlet closest to the ocean. This is a change from the initial class description which says the north side. However, in the last class, I believe the south side was described verbally, and that is where we usually meet.

To get to the south side meeting parking lot if you are coming from Rehoboth-Dewey, cross the IR bridge going south, take the first exit to the right, proceed back north and go under the bridge, then enter the first parking lot and go northeast toward the inlet and ocean corner of it

Coming from Bethany, exit just before the bridge and proceed to the northeast corner of the parking lot adjacent to the inlet and ocean. We will be parked there, and will begin birding from the south jetty that runs out into the ocean. Meeting time 8 am

Osher Nov 4 Field Trip meets at Herring Point parking lot at Cape Henlopen

If you are not familiar with Herring Point, just after you pass through the entry pay booths at Cape Henlopen, you make a gradual left turn, and then make a right with signage to Herring Point and Fort Miles. Drive as far as you can and then park in the large parking lot on the right. The weather tomorrow looks like another Indian Summer day, so come out and enjoy, before the arctic vortex takes yet another southward swing this winter.

And as a reminder, Janice Erich has invited us ALL to lunch at her and Rob's home in Cape Shores. She is prepared to serve carnivores, omnivores and herbivores. Hope you can attend.


And above, just a fun add-on pic of the Kalmar Nyckel at the Lewes Ferry Terminal Aug 2, 2015. Much to our surprise, Sally and I again saw the Kalmar Nyckel in Chestertown MD this past Friday, Oct 30. For details about this historic ship, click Captain Lauren Morgens. She and her husband Matt Sarver are both very active Delaware birders, so you may meet them while birding our great birding state...Delaware.
