Recently, two of VRA’s technicians,
Ana Bruder and Jackie Vidal, took a day trip to Pea Patch Island in Delaware.
This island is home to Fort Delaware, a Union fortress built in 1859 and is
only accessible by ferry. Fort Delaware protected the ports of Wilmington and
Philadelphia and was also used to house Confederate prisoners of war.
In addition to the Fort, Pea Patch
Island is a summer home to nine different
species of herons, egrets, and ibis. The remote marshes provide an outstanding
habitat for one of the largest wading bird nesting areas on the East Coast.
