Cape Henlopen Bird Feeder Cam

A Feeder Along the Seaside Nature Trail

This live camera is trained on a bird feeder mounted beside the Seaside Nature Trail at the Nature Center in Cape Henlopen State Park. Park staff keep the station stocked with Black Oil Sunflower seed, a high-energy choice favored by a wide range of seed-eating birds.

Cape Henlopen State Park

Cape Henlopen sits at the point where the Delaware Bay meets the open Atlantic Ocean, near the historic town of Lewes, Delaware. The park's mix of maritime forest, dunes, and salt marsh makes its Nature Center a natural gathering point for local and migratory wildlife.

Wildlife at the Feeder

Visitors to the feeder typically include cardinals, chickadees, woodpeckers, and other backyard favorites, alongside occasional squirrels drawn by the fallen seed. The Friends of Cape Henlopen State Park maintain the station as part of the park's broader habitat education program.

Exploring the Nature Center

The Seaside Nature Trail links the Nature Center to the park's observation towers and beach access points, giving visitors an easy walk through coastal Delaware habitat. Interpretive signage along the way highlights the park's ecology and conservation history.
