Check out Wild Delaware!

DRT’s good friend, internationally known photographer, Kevin Fleming, has created an awesome blog called WILD DELAWARE, in which he shows us the huge variety of flora and fauna that Delaware has to offer nature and animal lovers year round! He takes photos from places like White Clay Creek State Park, Bombay Hook and Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge and updates the blog regularly with glorious photos. The WILD DELAWARE book is coming out soon, and you can pre-order it online. It will also be sold at Browseabout in Rehoboth Beach, when it comes out in hardcover. Meanwhile, I’m trying to get Kevin interested in helping me find Delaware a state mammal. Because we don’t have one. We have a bird - the blue hen; we have a fish - the weakfish; we even have a marine animal - the horseshoe crab, of course! But according to Delaware’s own governmental website, we have no state mammal. Kevin has mentioned the groundhog, the red fox and the white tailed deer as possible candidates. Marine mammal-fanciers have mentioned whales or dolphins. You can compare what other states have for their mammals and get ideas. Then make your suggestions for nominees by posting your comments here and then we’ll get this campaign for proper mammalian representation off the ground!
