Migrating waterfowl at Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware face a harsh winter as food becomes scarce. About half of the state's migratory ducks and geese rely on the refuge, but recent nor'easters damaged dunes and wetlands, threatening feeding grounds.

Punkin Chunkin contest hurls pumpkins to records
In Delaware a Punkin Chunkin event draws gearheads and engineers to a 280 acre field. Ruth Ann Minner watches and even chunks a pumpkin. Gene Brzosko's trebuchet and a 1380 feet human powered record lead a day of bold machines. An Illinois team claims the pneumatic crown with a 4026 foot finale before a Delaware shot ends the day.
