The Sussex Bird Club's primary objective is to promote the knowledge and enjoyment of wild birds through guided field trips and monthly meetings about various aspects of birding.

Many members are active bird photographers, as evidenced by 2 of Chuck Fullmer's outstanding recent photos below. Chuck has his own web site loaded with great bird photos taken in Sussex County.

(see CONTACT US for directions to Cadbury).

Meetings will begin at 2:00 pm (instead of 2:30) and are open to anyone with an interest in wild birds.

Field Trips

Field trips visit top local birding spots, such as Prime Hook NWR, Cape Henlopen State Park, Trap Pond State Park, Indian River Inlet, Delaware Seashore State Park and other good local birding areas. Occasionally, longer trips are made to Blackwater and Chincoteague NWR's. See the Calendar page for details.
