I would like to visit Delaware because it has urban area as well as rural area. I am interested in all of the wildlife preserves that Delaware has to offer. There are many fascinating birds such as great blue herons, hawks, migrant songbirds, and egrets. They are all available in different seasons in the bays of Delaware. I would also like to visit the Biggs Museum of American Art. I have heard there are many unique and interesting works of art in this museum.
