  • Nanticoke Wildlife Area & Chapel Branch Site
    Delaware Birding Trail 12/5/07 4:47 PM Birding Region: Cypress & Pine Site #24: Nanticoke Wildlife Area & Site Map Chapel Branch 3 miles SW of Seaford (302) 539-3160 Managed by: DE Div. of Fish & Wildlife The Nanticoke River, which runs southwest from Seaford into Maryland and empties into the Chesapeake Bay, is bordered by several rich forest areas. Three recommended spots are along Chapel Branch, the Woodland Ferry area, and the woods surrounding the boat ramp at Phillips Landing. The woods near the confluence of Chapel Branch and the Nanticoke River are cited by local birders as the best location near Seaford for finding migrant songbirds and also boasts a rich assortment of breeding species. Two loop trails and several side trails offer a variety of options for walking. The large trees just before and on the hill after the boardwalk are especially worth checking. Three miles southwest of Chapel Branch, the Woodland Ferry dock provides a place to scan the river for waterbirds. Just beyond the ferry, Woodland Church Road enters a nice patch of riverside forest for the next mile. When the small cable ferry at Woodland is running, it offers a fun, alternative route between Chapel Branch and Phillips Landing area, on the south side of the Nanticoke. The boat launch there is also surrounded by good quality forest. .Click to Continue Other Birding Sites in the Cypress & Pine Region: Map data ©2007 Tele Atlas - Terms of Use 21.

Oyster Gardening Oyster Gardening Returns to the Nanticoke This autumn, oyster spat (baby oysters on shell) settled into the waters of the lower Nanticoke, thanks to the volunteer efforts of ten residents in the Tyaskin-Bivalve- Nanticoke area and the Oyster Recovery Partnership (ORP). The spat are provided by Horn Point Laboratory. While we normally wouldn’t suggest putting babies in cages, oyster spat will do just fine in their comfy enclosures, hanging a few inches above the river’s bottom this winter. Although oysters can safely freeze in the water, they are sensitive to freezing air temperatures and can die if exposed too long. As the weather warms, the volunteers will tend to the oysters and make observations. In late spring, the ORP will collect the oysters for placement in the Nanticoke sanctuary.
