  • Check out this amazing photo of last weekend's full moon! The first full moon in February is traditionally known as the Snow Moon, named after the snow that is (usually) on the ground. _____ Keith Brodeur, one of our official volunteer photographers, captured this view from Holts Landing State Park. #destateparks

  • Fun fact: the Indian River Marina at @delseashorestatepark is the largest full-service marina in Delaware! In the winter, the boats are taken out of the water and stored in one of 2 ways. Some boats are stored in the parking lot in what is called winter land, and other boats are stacked in a building, which is called dry stacks. Swipe to see photos of both storage methods! _____ Photos by volunteer photographer Teresa Hughes #destateparks and stored in dry stacks

  • Meet the Northern Red-bellied Cooter! _____ Its name stems from its red colored “belly” or plastron. This aquatic turtle is found in fresh water bodies throughout Delmarva, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. They are the most commonly seen turtle in this region, often basking on downed trees, rocks and any other structures they can climb on. REd-bellied cooters are the largest recorded basking turtle in Delmarva with an average length of 10 to 12 inches ( the largest ever recorded was 15 inches!). They will eat pretty much anything from vegetation to insects and fish. These turtles can live 40 to 50 years. _____ This red-bellied cooter lives in the nature center at @killenspondstatepark. _____ Photo by volunteer photographer @felmeyphotography #destateparks
