Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Delaware Bay, 5/12/22

 


Second day of trying to make the best of our 3-day beach stay. Temperatures rose a tad compared to yesterday and we ventured out to the Wildlife refuge located a few miles west of Lewes. Discovered numerous pleasant trails but no flocks of migrating birds. Of historical interest, the name "Prime Hook" is a legacy from the 1600s Dutch settlers who found abundant beach plums and called the area "Pruim Hoek." "Pruim" means plum and "hoek" is corner in Dutch.
