A Natural Phenomenon

Every year, thousands upon thousands of horseshoe crabs emerge from the water to mate and lay their eggs at night. The Delaware Bay is one of the primary locations for this amazing natural event.

When it’s time to lay her eggs, a female horseshoe crab will deposit somewhere around 4,000 eggs in clusters. She’ll do this several times, laying up to around 20,000 eggs in one night and up to some 100,000 in each meeting season.

As a result, the area is flooded with 2-3 million migrating shorebirds that stay for several weeks to feast, rest, and refuel. In addition, the best weekends to see this wildlife spectacle are the full moon & new moon, giving us opportunities for excellent nighttime photography.

The Workshop

There will be group shooting sessions and time to shoot on your own. In addition, there will be classroom sessions on full moon and bird/wildlife photography. And we’ll review each other’s work at the end of the workshop.

The full moon is on Thursday, May 23, so we’ll be working with an almost-full-moon on Friday and Saturday. Think of thousands of horseshoe crabs on the beach in the moonlight.

Room and board are included in the price of the workshop. We’ll be staying at a house in Frederica, DE, where participants will have their own bedroom.
