Delaney Wildlife Management Area (Report from April 18th 2026)

Seven of us enjoyed a pleasant if cloudy spring morning. We sound the usual early spring warblers. The most remarkable part of the morning was the very large number of Brown Creepers we saw. And, as usual for this site, the Wood Ducks did not disappoint.
