These are just some of the ones I have regularly seen over the years.

Recommended equipment : Some species - herons, egrets, yellow-rumped warblers, various shorebirds and gulls - can be approached and photographed at fairly close range (minimum 200mm lens). Other more skittish species such as glossy ibis will require a longer lens (400mm or more). For landscapes, a wide angle zoom is recommended (I use the Canon 10-22mm). Sunsets are amazing and worth photographing. A 100mm or 180mm macro lens is also recommended for insect and reptile photo opportunities. Pregnant female snapping turtles are occasionally seen crossing roads in the refuge during the spring (May) and can photographed with a long macro lens.

Best months : Wildlife is present all year. The species present depend upon the season. Winter (November thru March) is great for wintering waterfowl such as Snow Geese, American wigeon, Black Ducks, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, etc. During some winters, snowy owls can also be seen. Spring, summer, and fall months are a good time to see the various heron, egret, warbler, and shorebirds species. Photographic opportunites are available all year.

How to get there : From Baltimore, MD, take I-97 to Route 301, following signs to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, to Route 50. Take Route 50 to Route 13 South (in Salisbury, MD). From Route 13 South take Route 175 (about 5 miles past Pocomoke City, MD). Travel east on 175 to Chincoteague Island, go straight at the light at the foot of the drawbridge onto Maddox Blvd.and follow the signs to Assateague Island National Seashore and Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge.
