Hundreds of Thousands Of Snow Geese Invade The Delaware Coast Every Winter And It’s A Sight To Be Seen

Every year, starting in November, hundreds of thousands of snow geese move into the Delaware coast. These beautiful birds are on the run from the brutal Arctic winter. They spend their summer mating season way up north and then fly south to a more hospitable climate when the days start to get shorter. You can see these beautiful, majestic snow geese in Delaware in huge flocks if you head to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge or Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge this winter.

The Snow Geese migration is one of the world's most impressive animal traditions.

Here in Delaware, birding fans have a front-row seat to the action!

When the winter snow geese migration takes place, literally hundreds of thousands of these birds make their home on the Delaware coast.

They stop in spots that are famous along what is known as the International Flyway.

Pack your binoculars and camera and hit the road to tour two parks in particular that are the two best places to see snow geese in Delaware.

They are the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge and the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. These refuges are known all over the country.

All along the coastal marshes, you'll see birds splashing, diving, and flying off in swarms.

It's incredible to see thousands of them take flight at once!

While most of these birds are white with black wingtips, there are always a few 'blue' birds in the mix.

While you're gazing over the picturesque Delaware landscape, see how many you can spot in each flock!

While they love the National Wildlife Refuges, you can also spot them throughout slower lower Delaware.

It's not uncommon for cars to stop along Route 9 and watch a field take flight.

Make some time to appreciate the snow geese in Delaware this winter before they head back north for the springtime.

Because as it happens every year, the warmer weather months are always just around the corner!
