Longer days, warming air, and new birds chirping all around—all these are sure signs of spring on the Delmarva Peninsula. This new exhibit highlights some of the beautiful spring birds that make their appearance in our region each year. These birds join us to nest or refuel during long journeys along the Atlantic Flyway, a sort of bird superhighway that stretches from South America north through Canada, to Greenland.
The exhibit also features some of our year-round feathered residents, which show their own signs of spring: new colors, new preferred habitats, and new life in tow—lines of ducklings and goslings waddling along. Visit Signs of Spring in the Welcome Gallery this spring to view a range of vibrant works of art, and learn about the beautiful migratory birds that will visit us this season, and resident birds about to show off.
