Delaware's wildest, least explored region is the vast salt marsh bordering Delaware Bay. Birding and wildlife viewing are outstanding here throughout the year, with the spring horseshoe crab/shorebird spectacle and fall waterfowl concentrations being special highlights. The Coastal Zone of Delaware has been recognized as a Globally Important Bird Area.
